NATASA LIPOVSEK & CLARE O'CONNELL Clare O'Connell and Natasa Lipovsek have been working together since they met in 1999, and are rapidly establishing themselves as a duo of some repute. Avid explorers of the repertoire of works for cello and piano, they programme an interesting mixture of lesser-known works with the greats. Natasa studied at the state music school in Slovenia and at the Royal College of Music with Kendall Taylor and John Barstow. She completed her M Mus degree and ARCM performers with honours. She won the Myra Hess and the Countess of Munster awards and in 1992, was a prize-winner in the European Chopin Piano Competition in Darmstadt, Germany. In a violin/piano duo with her sister she broadcast live on Classic FM, toured extensively and performed at St John's Smith Square, the Purcell Room and the Royal Festival Hall. Other concerts have taken her to Belgium, Austria, Slovenia, Italy and Cyprus. Since 2000 Natasa has been on the staff of both Kingston University and the Royal College of Music's Junior Department. She also gives masterclasses at the Hereford Summer School. Clare and Natasa have found an unusual degree of empathy as a duo and feel and breathe their music as one. Their most recent concert elicited the following comments from the organisers:
