Parallel Play (Parma/Navona)
Lina Andonovska & Alex Raineri.
Release Date: 22 August 2025
Australian flautist Lina Andonovska and pianist Alex Raineri join forces on Parallel Play — a bold new album of chamber music by living composers. Featuring world premiere recordings by Sarah Kirkland Snider, Judith Ring, Marc Mellits, and Paul Dean, the album explores the poetic, playful, and at times turbulent interplay between flute and piano.
The duo also presents a rarely heard arrangement of Richard Strauss’s Sonata in E-flat Major, reframing this Romantic classic through the vibrant colours of the flute.
Made possible in part by Creative Australia, Parallel Play is a celebration of new music and long-time collaboration — a virtuosic and heartfelt contribution to the contemporary flute and piano repertoire.
Stay tuned for pre-save links, behind-the-scenes content, and Australian/EU/US tour dates in 2026.
Seven Dreams (Fundacja Słuchaj Records)
by Izumi Kimura / Lina Andonovska / Dominique Pifarély. Recorded live in the National Concert Hall, Dublin on May 31st, 2022.
A Way A Lone A Last (Diatribe Records)
Featuring ‘Bridget’ by Donnacha Dennehy, ‘A Breathe of Fresh Air’ by Judith Ring and new works for amplified bass flute and drum kit by Nick Roth and Barry O’Halpin.
“Andonovska’s control of her instrument is immediately applaudable and the cyclonic energy of her playing commands an intensity of listening that is rare to encounter. Equally strong as an artist and a technician, it is the former that shines through and defines Andonovska as one of Australia’s leading artists, collaborators and curators.”
- Music Trust of Australia
"…we are treated to a brief yet brilliant rendition, largely thanks to Australian flautist Lina Andonovska who drives the performance with wonderfully extroverted command throughout...bolstered with remarkable accuracy by the (Deutsches Kammerorchester) via Dean as conductor, Andonovska’s wunderkind display is a real highlight this evening."
- Drowned in Sound Blog
The musicians of Eighth Blackbird were mesmerizing to watch and utterly committed to the music. They played with exuberance…
"It is rare indeed to be transported by music so glorious, so seemingly endless that your only wish is to capture the moment to avoid the inevitable ending of an enthralling experience."
