Described as “a born communicator” (The Australian), award-winning pianist, Alex Raineri, has toured extensively both nationally and internationally.

With a 2024 touring profile that includes performances throughout the USA, UK, Ireland, Finland, and the Netherlands, Alex will perform in NSW’s North-East this November.

A passionate exponent and commissioner of contemporary music, Alex has commissioned over 70 works and given over 130 premieres to date. He has commissioned four of the five Australian works featured within his Fairytales program.

Weaving tales of passion, loss, and beauty, Fairytales showcases works by contemporary Australian composers John Rotar, Michael Bakrnčev, Katy Abbott, and Ian Whitney, culminating in Melody Eötvös’ Piano Sonata No. 2, based on a lesser-known Hans Christian Andersen tale ‘A Story from the Sand Dunes’.
