Boris Pasternak, the celebrated Russian poet and Nobel Prize-winning author of Doctor Zhivago, was also an aspiring musician in his early years. Raised in aristocracy, Pasternak's mother was a renowned concert pianist, and Scriabin and Rachmaninoff were frequent visitors to their dacha. This concert offers a rare opportunity to hear his only surviving compositions and enjoy poetic interludes by special literary guests.
New Zealand-born Hannah Elizabeth-Teoh studied at the Royal Academy of Music, the École Normale de Musique de Paris, and the Royal College of Music. She has won numerous awards, including the Harold Samuel Prize, the Florence Murray Award, the Lesley Holland Scholarship, and the Ivy Corkill Recital Award.
