The Young Virtuosi

16 November 2024

Classical Music

Piano brings together two virtuosic soloists of bright subtlety and emotional depth in a concert centred on one of the most beloved instrumental combinations in music - violin and piano.

Please note: this event is not held at the Sydney Opera House.

Useful information:

One concert. Two international winners.

The Sydney International Piano Competition and the Michael Hill International Violin Competition are the most prestigious and celebrated international competitions in our region. Both competitions crown winners of outstanding promise and star power. 

2023 was an exceptional year for both events, producing two remarkable winners in Jeonghwan Kim (piano) and Yeyeong Jenny Jin (violin).

Now comes an opportunity to hear them together in concert, as Piano+ presents Piano+Violin in November. Piano+Violin brings together two virtuosic soloists of bright subtlety and emotional depth in a concert centred on one of the most beloved instrumental combinations in music.

Presented by Piano+
