TheClassicalReview.com raved about “Chen’s sumptuous tone, his delectable purity in the upper register, his gloriously robust lower register, his crisp and nimble articulation” and labelled him a “Violin Wunderkind” shortly after his début disc was released in 2010. Don’t miss this opportunity to come and hear for yourself what all the fuss is about when Taiwanese/Australian star violinist, Ray Chen, takes on one of the most lovely concertos in the repertory. Mystical and ethereal works from Finland add to the magic of what promises to be a truly sumptuous aural experience.
“It’s violin playing of the highest order. It’s not just Ray Chen’s superb technique, but his sense of pacing in the music that is so striking.”
BBC Music Magazine
“Even when the music is technically complex, he’s also a thoughtful player, able to captivate the listener. He makes the virtuoso tricks sound really beautiful.”
