Rebeca Omordia (piano) & Amy Dickson (saxophone)

Romanian born pianist, Rebeca Omordia has performed as a recitalist at venues around the world and more recently has worked as a duo partner with Julian and Jiaxin Lloyd Webber. Sharing the stage with Rebeca is Amy Dickson who made history by becoming the first saxophonist and the first Australian to win the 2013 MasterCard Breakthrough Artist of the Year Classic Brit Award. Despite stiff competition from tenor Joseph Calleja, trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth and cellist Alisa Weilerstein, it was her third album Dusk & Dawn, which reached the coveted No.1 position in the UK classical charts, that won her the award.
