The "undisputed queen of violin-playing" in her exclusive Australian debut concerts.
German violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter was discovered by Herbert von Karajan when she was 13. Since then, her music-making has graced stages from Berlin to New York and beyond – and now Sydney in exclusive Australian debut concerts.
She’s in such demand that took us three years to find a spot in her diary, but now we can look forward to a fearless and sophisticated interpretation of the noble Beethoven Violin Concerto from a musician who is equal parts formidable virtuoso and glamorous star.
This is your chance to experience the immaculate precision and the “turbo-charged sound” of the woman The Times called “the undisputed queen of violin-playing”.
