Violinist Anna Lee and cellist Dominic Lee share a lifetime of music, sibling understanding and of course, the occasional disagreements about how a piece should go.

On Sunday, November 15, Tauranga audiences can hear that connection when they perform Brahms’ Double Concerto with Bay of Plenty Symphonia.

Violin and cello converse, challenge and respond to each other, with the orchestra adding warmth, drama and power.

The siblings say their musical connection began at home, where their mother, an opera singer, sang phrases for them to imitate. Playing together still brings freedom and fun.

“We can sometimes enter this almost childlike space of creativity, spontaneity and experimentation,” they said.

Since their early Tauranga performances, both have studied and performed internationally. Now they’re sharing their music with the community that first encouraged them.

Everyone is welcome, especially those who have never attended an orchestral concert, the siblings said.

“Please don’t feel intimidated or think that you need to know anything about classical music to enjoy it!”

For the community that encouraged them as young musicians, this is a chance to enjoy Anna and Dominic’s playing together, alongside their hometown orchestra.
