Andrey Gugnin Winner of the Sydney International Piano Competition

Andrey Gugnin took out the hotly contested competition with his relentless cascades of notes and figurations, dispatched with incisive clarity and scintillating speed. His rhythmic acuity, lightness of touch and nuanced dynamics realised both the moments of witty caprice and wistful introspection. See him at The Joan when the audience will be seated onstage up close and personal with the artist 22 July at 7. 30pm
