| In addition
to their quality performance the Tea Rose Duo relax their audience
with their personality and panache. They make the music accessible with informative
and humorous anecdotes between and after (and sometimes during!) the pieces.
Whether they’re talking about the music, filling you in on their family history,
or arguing on stage(!), the Tea Rose Duo are always entertaining.

A delightful
husband and wife team who've had continuing sellout success in
and around Adelaide, appeared in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra, and represented
their State as the only South Australians invited to the 1996 Edinburgh Festival's
Fringe. They’ve toured for the Arts Council, visited Penang for the City
Council, been regulars at both the Festival Centre and Elder Hall ... and
appeared as the support act for international actor-comic-musician, Dudley
Moore, during his one-man show. The Duo were featured artists at the Festival
Theatre concert for virtuoso of the jazz violin, Stephane Grappelli.
Now they're available to bring their special
touch to your major events or concerts. If you don't have immediate access
to a Grand Piano, don't worry - Bernard can bring his own!!
Honours graduates from Adelaide's Elder Conservatorium,
Bernard and Sarah met while still at University and married soon after graduating.
Winner of the inaugural Accompanists' Guild Prize,
Bernard was on staff as an accompanist at the Elder Conservatorium and worked
for the State Opera Company, while Sarah performed with the Adelaide Chamber
Orchestra, the State Opera Orchestra and other professional ensembles.
The pair present a unique blend of classical
training combined with popular entertainment... their range includes anything
from Bach to Pink Floyd... Eine Kleine Nachtmusik to Stairway to Heaven.
Mozart, Schubert, Scott Joplin, Fritz Kresiler Gershwin... it's far easier
to name someone they don't play than someone they do!
