One of only two New Zealand shows, David will be joined on stage by internationally acclaimed pianist Rhodri Clarke at the Baycourt Community and Arts Centre on Sunday, February 28.

This concert will feature a performance of Rachmaninoff's ‘Third Piano Concerto in D minor', an exquisite and complex work made famous by the Academy Award-winning biographical film ‘Shine', which is based on David's life.
