The Neeman Piano Duo will play music by Beethoven, Tchaikowsky, Rachmaninov and Barber for their Dubbo concert on Friday, November 6.

Acclaimed for their impeccable musicianship and unique onstage chemistry in performances across America, Australia, and Asia, husband-and-wife duo Stephanie and Edward Neeman are expected to delight audiences with their unique mix of the dramatic, romantic and whimsical in their recitals.

With a wide-ranging repertoire, they have performed the Poulenc and Mendelssohn double piano concertos with orchestra, as well as Stravinsky's challenging score for the ballet Les Noces.

Their recital of 18th and 19th century music on period instruments was named one of the top five concerts of 2016 by The Canberra Times.

Several of the works they will perform in their Dubbo concert have been specially arranged by Edward Neeman, including excerpts from Tchaikowsky's much-loved ballet, The Nutcracker.

As well as their extensive performance careers, Stephanie and Edward Neeman are also experienced teachers, dedicated to encouraging and mentoring students from the elementary level right through to tertiary studies.

Both pianists have multiple degrees and doctorates from prestigious American universities and music schools and have been awarded numerous prizes in international piano competitions.

Piano students will also benefit from their expertise at a masterclass with these visiting artists on Saturday, November 7 at the Macquarie Conservatorium.

The Neeman Duo's Dubbo concert on November 6 will be one hour in duration, without interval.

The concert will be performed twice, once at 5.30pm and again at 7.30pm.

Audience numbers will be strictly limited to enable physical distancing. Seating will be allocated by the venue on arrival.

Ticket sales close at 9 am on November 6, and tickets will not be sold at the venue on the night.

Director of Macquarie Conservatorium, Vivienne Winther said advance booking through ticketing agency 123tix was essential for these COVID-safe concerts.

"Dubbo music lovers should book well ahead to make sure they get a seat, as available tickets are limited," she said.

"If concert-goers wish to sit together, we're asking them to purchase tickets in the same transaction."
