This will be an opportunity to spend an evening of song and entertainment with one of the true legends of the music world.

Master Series 1 - Tognetti and the Symphony

Friday 26 March, 8pm

Saturday 27 March, 6:30pm
Festival Theatre

Richard Tognetti brings his unique musicianship to the Symphony, showcasing his remarkable abilities as a musical leader. The London Daily Telegraph hailed his playing as ‘incisive, impassioned and characterful’. The critic could have added ‘charismatic’, as few other
artists in the world today radiate the unique platform presence of Tognetti. His performance of the greatest concerto in the violin repertoire on his 1743 Guaneri del Gesù instrument will be something to cherish. Tognetti then turns his hand to conducting Antonin Dvorák’s sublimely lyrical Eighth Symphony, a work brimming with
warmth, exuberant dance rhythms and al fresco scenes from the sunlit meadows of his native Bohemia.
