Zukerman and Mendelssohn Tea & Symphony at Sydney Opera House, Concert Hall

It's a celebration of youth when members of the Zukerman Trio join forces with the talented SSO Fellows to play Mendelssohn's Octet - an astonishing masterpiece from a 16-year-old genius, simplicity bursting with vivacity. The concert begins with one of Mendelssohn's most popular chamber works - music for singing violin and cello with rippling piano. This might be the work of a 30 year old but he's lost none of his youthful inspiration!

‘...the breadth of sound, the warmth of the vibrato, the powerful bow arm technique and the capacity to unfold the melody endlessly, like a great river that never ceases.’ PETER McCALLUM, SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, 2013
