In enormous demand worldwide, Avi Avital takes the mandolin to places it’s never been – both literally and figuratively. He has spellbound audiences with everything from Bach to Bartok and everything in between, becoming the first mandolin soloist to nab a classical Grammy Award nomination. He’s a true rockstar of the classical world and here in Brisbane for one night only, presented by the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra.

Those lucky enough to have witnessed Avi’s 2014 Brandenburg debut know that he commands the room and plays his instrument with a captivating intensity. Avi’s virtuosity is electrifying, but it is his deep musicality and sensitivity that draws audiences towards the emotional heart of his music. There is a genuine chemistry between the Brandenburg musicians and Avi that is truly charming and makes for a show of lightness and beauty, virtuosity and romantic sonority.
