27 June 2025 Sydney (Australia)
Bernstein & Korngold
Sydney Symphony Orchestra conducted by Eduardo Strausser - Sydney Opera House, Concert Hall
Program Info: Caribbean sounds collide with New York’s jazz scene in music by Gershwin and Bernstein, and Korngold brings the Golden Age of Hollywood to the stage.
Australian violinist Christian Li became the youngest winner in the history of the Yehudi Menuhin International Competition for Young Violinists at age ten, and the youngest artist ever signed to Decca Classics two years later. Still only 17, he brings his ‘staggering virtuosity’ (BBC Music Magazine) to Korngold’s Violin Concerto, full of stirring melodies that draw on the composer’s scores for the Silver Screen. It’s the perfect companion to Bernstein’s thrilling Symphonic Dances from West Side Story, and the infectious Latin feel of Gershwin’s Cuban Overture.
This is music that will leap off the stage and fill your heart.
