Stefan Cassomenos is a virtuosic pianist, composer and performer and is considered one of Australia's most talented young artists. Stefan studies at the Australian National Academy of Music and is sponsored by Kawai Australia and Music Theatre Australia. In 2004 the University of Melbourne awarded Stefan the T Allan McKay Piano Scholarship and a Faculty of Music Lunch Hour Series solo recital, and in 2005 awarded him the Ormond Exhibition, and the Florence Menk Meyer Prize. Also in 2005, he was a semi-finalist in the Lev Vlassenko Piano Competition Australia. In 2006, he was a finalist in the Australian National Piano Award, won the major prizes at both the Dandenong Festival and the Wollongong Eisteddfod, and was awarded the Ida Doubleday Bequest Recital, by the Music Lovers Society.
He has performed concertos with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra Victoria, the Melbourne University Symphony Orchestra, and the Chamber Strings of Melbourne. Internationally, he has appeared as a soloist in St Petersburg, Tallinn, Warsaw, Krakow, Athens, Rome, Milan, Amsterdam, London, Bangkok, and Tokyo. His compositions (written when he was 14 years old!) have been performed by the Symphony Orchestras of Melbourne and Adelaide. He has been broadcast performing with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra on ABC Classic FM, and was recently asked to do a live solo recital broadcast on 3MBS FM.
In 2008, Stefan travelled on scholarship to the British School at Rome and was the only Australian pianist invited to take part in the Oxford Music Summer Festival. Other upcoming engagements include a 2008 recital for the British Music Society, performances as a member of The Yarra Trio and with Tania de Jong in the new production, "The Pianist and The Diva".
"Stefan's playing is something else: alive, passionate, dramatic playing that was also as near technically perfect as dammit. We in the audience were soon bonded, stirred and shaken. This was a prodigious London debut by a formidable talent!" John Amis, Musical Opinion |
