Australian pianist Andrea Lam talks with RNZ Concert ahead of her concert with the Auckland Philharmonia on Thursday evening when she'll be performing Mendelssohn's First Piano Concerto.
"I'm always searching for that moment when I'm just fully in [the music], and it kind of transcends whatever the art is. It doesn't matter whether it's a song cycle, or a string quartet, or a piano solo..."
"There are these moments when you are changed physically, you have a moment where you're just in the sound... a moment that is out of time and space for a bit."
"Those are the moments that we all listen and create art, I think."
