The Whispers of Dawn to Dusk
Pianist Camila De Oliveira and flautist Yune-Sang Yune formed their duo in 2024, when they first collaborated for Yune-Sang’s master’s degree recital at the University of Auckland. Since then, they have performed together in Auckland and Whitianga, with upcoming engagements including concerts in Dargaville, Maungaturoto, and Te Awamutu.
