Daniel Lozakovich plays the violin

Daniel Lozakovich performs Sibelius’ Violin Concerto

7 – 10 May 2025

In the Concert Hall

Classical Music

Still only 23 years old, Swedish violinist Daniel Lozakovich has been captivating audiences worldwide for years – precisely why he was signed to Deutsche Grammophon at just 16.

Radiant and lyrical

In his Australian debut, Daniel Lozakovich performs Sibelius’ Violin Concerto, an incredible opportunity to experience this extraordinary artist performing a work that showcases every bit of his ability. 

As the violin enters above shimmering strings, Sibelius captures the icy beauty of his native Finland. There’s a sense of vastness and weightlessness that’s simply beautiful to experience. Lozakovich's virtuosity will leave you breathless, and you'll instantly understand why this remains one of Sibelius' most popular works.

There are few more passionate ambassadors for Czech music than Tomáš Netopil, Principal Guest Conductor of the Czech Philharmonic. His interpretation of the radiant technicolour of Dvořák’s Sixth Symphony adds fire to the lyrical and dance-like third movement. And in the heartbreaking beauty of Janáček’s symphonic suite from Jenůfa, Netopil will gently guide you through love, betrayal and grief, arriving at a spellbinding catharsis.
