Elemental Elegance was an exciting collaboration between Corinne and Melbourne pianist, Elyane Laussade. Corinne created a series of paintings to accompany a musical programme that Elyane performed at the Laussade Studio and the Melbourne Lyceum Club. Each of the twelve musical works evoked one of the four elements of - earth, water, fire and air - by giants such as Debussy, Chopin, and Liszt. Corinne's paintings, which interpreted the mood of each piece were displayed for the audience to contemplate while listening to Elyane's masterful piano playing.

"Exquisite! It transcended everyday life." - Cecily, B. Melbourne

"I loved the champagne on arrival, the warm greeting, the cultural mix of painting and piano, the fine food, sharing it with friends, being inspired to listen to more Debussy and observe cloud formations more acutely, being in the presence of two amazing women who shared their deep knowledge honed over many years with style and class, great warmth and a sense of inclusiveness." - Beatrice, K. Melbourne
