Castlemaine audiences are in for an extraordinary evening of virtuosity, passion, and musical storytelling as internationally acclaimed violinist Yamen Saadi and renowned Australian pianist Simon Tedeschi unite for their first performance in their Australian tour.
Saadi, a virtuoso violinist and the youngest-ever concertmaster of the prestigious Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, will make his first-ever Australian tour, bringing his breathtaking artistry and rich, expressive tone to Castlemaine on Monday, March 17 at the Castlemaine Town Hall.
At just 26 years old, he has already performed with the Staatskapelle Berlin, Israel Philharmonic, and Chamber Orchestra of Europe, led by legendary conductors including Daniel Barenboim and Leonidas Kavakos.
Saadi will be joined by Simon Tedeschi, one of Australia’s most celebrated pianists, known for his soul-stirring interpretations and effortless virtuosity.
Tedeschi has graced the world’s top concert halls, from Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House, and performed for dignitaries including the Dalai Lama and former US President George W. Bush.
Presented by the Castlemaine State Festival in partnership with Live at Yours, this intimate recital will feature stunning works by legendary violinist-composer Fritz Kreisler, alongside other romantic and classical masterpieces.
Enjoy a relaxed, intimate setting and close-up interactions with the artists. This is a rare chance to experience world-class musicianship in regional Australia and hear music played on history’s most treasured instruments, including Saadi’s priceless Stradivarius violin, once owned by Kreisler himself.
Saadi and Tedeschi live at Castlemaine Town Hall, 25 Lyttleton St, Castlemaine on Monday, March 17 at 7pm.
