Yasmin Rowe, piano

Yasmin's last visit to Wensleydale in 2024 featured a triumphant performance of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring with Daniel Grimwood in a four hand recital. We invited Yasmin to play for us in 2026 but the outbreak of war in Iran caused a rethink. Hopefully now that routes from Australia have been safely re-established Yasmin will join us for a wonderful evening of music including the technicolour first book for Liszt's Years of Pilgrimage.

Yasmin has garnered international acclaim as a soloist, collaborator, and recording artist across Europe, Asia, and Australia. Known for her expressive and captivating performances, Yasmin was a major prize winner at the 2022 Australian National Piano Award, and in previous years, the winner of the Moray International Piano Competition in Scotland, and Antena 2 prize in Portugal.

Alongside her solo work, Yasmin is an active chamber musician, performing in the duo Y-Squared and the trios Rock Paper Scissors and Collide. Her recent collaborations include performances with esteemed musicians Daniel Grimwood, Ian Munro, and Jean-Efflam Bavouzet. Her dedication to chamber music was recognized with the Geoffrey Parsons Award for collaborative excellence in 2021.
