Australian Music Centre | Breaking sound barriers

Event Details

‘Steve Davislim is worth being spoken of in the same breath as his predecessors of similar voice – Peter Anders and Fritz Wunderlich – and praise can hardly be higher than that.’ Gramophone

There are few voices in Australia – or indeed the world – that come anywhere close to matching Malaysian-born Australian tenor Steve Davislim.

A deeply expressive musician with a mesmeric stage presence, Steve has a voice that will break your heart. With pianist Daniel de Borah they celebrate the four pillars of Austro-German art song: Franz Schubert, Johannes Brahms, Hugo Wolf and Richard Strauss.
