As a musician’s instrumental proficiency develops, so too does their artistic taste and temperament. Each ANAM musician’s recital is a snapshot in time – simultaneously summarising their year of training and revealing glimpses of their future selves. What music excites them? What do they want to communicate? How does their art help them understand the world better? Hear what the next generation of virtuosi have to say, and how, in the 2025 ANAM Recital series.
Giant Steps
"“A French sandwich between two bits of German bread.”
Named after one of the most influential jazz albums of all time—John Coltrane’s Giant Steps (1960)—this recital is a reflection on my personal and musical development since auditioning for ANAM.
It’s a recital of contradictions. It has nothing to do with jazz, yet bears some interesting musical parallels to its namesake. Likewise, the three sonatas on the program share a sense of whimsy and effervescence (not to mention a tonal centre), but represent completely different musical styles and periods.
I know everyone says this, but it really has been a massive year—impossible to fully capture in one short performance. Still, I hope to offer a glimpse into what has changed and what has stayed the same." — Lachlan MacLaren
