Leila Josefowicz

John Novacek

##### Leila Josefowicz and John Novacek explore the magic of music for violin and piano by Debussy and Stravinsky.

 Prepare to be kissed by a fairy, haunted by a dream and transformed by music when Canadian virtuoso violinist Leila Josefowicz and fellow-Canadian pianist John Novacek bring their fantastical tales and captivating sounds to tour Australia. Josefowicz and Novacek have been playing together since they were eight, and their enduring partnership creates a bond on stage which is, quite simply, magic.

Let this feisty duo transform your night with ravishing music by Stravinsky, Szymanowski and Debussy, plus a new commission from Ivor Novello Award-winning UK composer Charlotte Bray.

**Praise for the artists**

'Leila Josefowicz is just the right kind of violinist: tough, uncompromising, always ready to do battle with the band and to soar, exhilaratingly, above it.' - _BBC Radio 3_

'Josefowicz is magnificent throughout, whether negotiating ferocious technical challenges or playing with gentle lyrical wonder.' - _The Strad_

'Stravinsky's _The Fairy's Kiss_ allowed Josefowicz and Novacek the chance to pull out all the stops they'd held in reserve in a flurry of full-force virtuosity that rose to a pyrotechnical conclusion.' - _San Francisco Classical Voice_
