Australian Youth Orchestra with Christoph Eschenbach and Joshua Bell at Arts Centre Melbourne Hamer Hall

Internationally renowned violinist Joshua Bell performs Tchaikovsky’s exquisite Violin Concerto. Bell calls the piece “the most intimate, elegant, almost balletic warhorse I know!” His talents have long crowned him a “classical music superstar” and his many achievements include a Grammy and the Avery Fisher Prize.

Repertoire includes the Arabian Nights-inspired Scheherazade, an all-time concert favourite that charms with exotic strings and luminous flutes and tambourines. Sumptuous eastern tones radiate throughout the piece whilst the atmosphere and melodies are excitingly Russian. The mighty Christoph Eschenbach returns to Australia to lead AYO in an outstanding interpretation of this much-loved work.

Don’t miss your chance to see these incredible artists come together for this Australian concert before embarking on AYO’s 21st International Tour to Europe.
