After a successful show in September last year internationally renowned violinist Attilla Sautov, who leads the Mueller International Chamber Orchestra, will be back to perform in Armidale at the Uniting Church on Thursday, April 19, at 7pm.
As part of its 2012 QLD and NSW tour, Attilla Sautov will perform with an even more international Mueller Chamber Orchestra and a beautiful new extremely versatile program featuring, among others, a Waltz from Tchaikovsky, The gypsy Air from Monti and Mendelssohn’s Concerto in D. Minor that he wrote at the age of 13. At the end you will be able to witness him challenging the Guinness book world record, playing “Flight of the Bumblebee” by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in less than 55 seconds!
Attilla started playing the Violin at the age of four in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. His enormous talent and master classes with some of the world’s best violin players would soon allow him to win many international competitions.
In 2000 he moved to Germany where he worked as concert master in several leading orchestras. With them he did performances in the most prestigious venues all over the world like the Sydney Opera House, the Berlin Concert Hall, the Ottawa National Art Centre and the Hong Kong Art Centre.
He has become known for his extrovert and flamboyant stage presence and his tremendous command of the violin. One of his favorite composers is Paganini and playing his very difficult parts always turns out to be a jaw dropping experience sending thrills and plucking pizzicatos down your spine.
