The Young Virtuosi tour across Australia and New Zealand took place between 24 October and 18 November 2024.
One concert. Two international winners.
In partnership with Michael Hill International Violin Competition
Piano+ in collaboration with the Michael Hill International Violin Competition (NZ), present two phenomenal young prize-winning soloists in The Young Virtuosi.
The Sydney International Piano Competition and the Michael Hill International Violin Competition are the most prestigious and celebrated international competitions in our region. Both competitions crown winners of outstanding promise and star power. 2023 was an exceptional year for both events, producing two remarkable winners in Jeonghwan Kim (piano) and Yeyeong Jenny Jin (violin).
Now comes an opportunity to hear them together in concert, as Piano+ presents The Young Virtuosi in Sydney and Melbourne in November.
The Young Virtuosi brings together two virtuosic soloists of bright subtlety and emotional depth in a concert centered on one of the most beloved instrumental combinations in music.
The Young Virtuosi can be heard in Sydney at Verbruggen Hall and in Melbourne at the Melbourne Recital Centre.
