‘A hugely impressive display of apparently effortless technical mastery delivered with nonchalant playfulness.’ Sydney Morning Herald

The electrifying Russian violinist returns to perform one of the most beloved Romantic violin concertos. The Bruch violin concerto is one of the most popular Romantic concertos, beloved for its drama, lyricism and passion. It’s an emotional journey from folk-inflected start to heart-swelling finish.

After electrifying audiences with his Paganini in 2018, Ilya Gringolts returns to bring you Bruch, arranged for strings and timpani, and confirm his reputation as one of the most thrilling violinists on the planet.
