IF YOU are a lover of the violin and classical music, make sure you are in Kendall on 21 and 22 September for both the 15th Kendall National Violin Competition finals and a celebration concert featuring Live Music Sydney.
The KNVC is Australia’s premier national violin competition that attracts the countries’ most gifted and able performers who vie for the opportunity to win the coveted concert violin uniquely made from Australian timbers by Comboyne-based master luthier Graham Caldersmith.
Founded in 1999 by Goetz Richter and an honorary committee in Kendall, the competition’s other prizes include a number of cash prizes donated by sponsors and supporters and a paid regional concert tour.
Following the intense competition that took place at the semi-finals at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music last month, four young violinists have been selected to travel to Kendall to contest the final.
The semi-finals were judged by a panel of internationally acclaimed violinists, namely Susan Collins, Carl Pini and Sun Roh.
The successful finalists were Benjamin Adler, Grace Clifford, Yejin Min and Tony Zhai.
These performers will now compete and perform in Kendall on Saturday 21 September.
The following day a celebratory concert will be held featuring Live Music Sydney, special guests and the winner of the 15th Kendall National Violin Competition.
Tickets for all events are limited, so be sure to book early.
