Described as ‘masterful’, ‘positively ecstatic’ and ‘profoundly moving, subtle and exuberant’, the KIAZMA Piano Duo (pianists Aura Go and Tomoe Kawabata) has established itself as one of Australia's most dynamic ensembles. Equally at home in solo, two-piano and four-hand repertoire from the baroque to the present day, KIAZMA is passionate about sharing the riches of the existing repertoire, developing the art form through the KIAZMA commissioning project, and creating concert experiences that explore new ways of listening to and engaging with music. 

The duo's first CD, 'Five Rocks in a Japanese Garden', features first recordings of works by five of Japan’s foremost contemporary composers. KIAZMA has presented concert series at the Melbourne Recital Centre since 2016 and has undertaken ambitious projects such as a reimagining for two pianists of J.S. Bach’s 'The Art of Fugue' and the creation of a new interdisciplinary work 'One Space One'.

Members of the teaching faculty at the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music and Performance at Monash University, Aura Go and Tomoe Kawabata mentor young pianists in piano and creative collaboration. The newly established KIAZMA Mentoring Program offers young pianists opportunities to engage in side-by-side professional development in rehearsal, creative development, curation and performance. www.kiazma.net
