New World, Bendigo Symphony Orchestra – 16th March 2025 

Kicking off my first year as official concertmaster of Bendigo Symphony with Dvořák’s epic New World Symphony. This was one of those pieces that I always regretted not getting the chance to play in my early orchestra-playing years before heading into chamber music land for a couple of decades, so I’m THRILLED to be playing it with the total legends at BSO. 

These guys tend to sell out the 870-seater Ulumbarra Theatre, so book early to avoid disappointment.
