Prepare to be inspired and delighted by sheer talent and musical gift. Featuring 13-year-old Gold Coast violinist Alessandro Martinese performing Wieniawski’s Violin Concerto No. 2, and conducted by Owen Clarke, this is a concert not to be missed.
A year 8 student at Somerset College on the Gold Coast, Alessandro completed AMEB LMusA with Distinction in violin this year, and currently studies with Michele Walsh, head of strings at the Queensland Conservatorium at Griffith University. He was invited to join the Mini Q Quartet under the mentorship of Ensemble Q, a professional ensemble of some of the finest musicians in Australia. A keen member of the Queensland Youth Orchestra and the concertmaster of the Somerset College Senior String Orchestra, Alessandro performed the 3rd movement of the Bruch Concerto with Queensland Youth Philharmonic Orchestra in 2024. He also won first prize at the Cremona International Music Academy and received an open scholarship at the prestigious Redlands Eisteddfod last year. From the Albert Hall in London to Bozar in Brussels, Alessandro now brings his music home to the Gold Coast with this stunning concerto.
The program also includes:
MOZART – Overture to the Magic Flute
and
SCHUBERT – Rosamunde (Balletmusik No. 2) and the Unfinished Symphony.
