As a musician’s instrumental proficiency develops, so too does their artistic taste and temperament. Each ANAM musician’s recital is a snapshot in time – simultaneously summarising their year of training and revealing glimpses of their future selves. What music excites them? What do they want to communicate? How does their art help them understand the world better? Hear what the next generation of virtuosi have to say, and how, in the 2025 ANAM Recital series.

Beauty and the Beast

“This program presents a diverse exploration of the violin’s expressive range; from the Baroque artistry of Bach’s sonata to the intense modern energy of Nielsen’s concerto. Korngold’s evocative ‘Garden Scene’ adds a touch of lush lyricism, while Kreisler’s arrangement of ‘Midnight Bells’ brings charm. This recital thoughtfully begins with the dance inspired movement of Bach’s Allegro and concludes by embracing the elegant charm of a Viennese style dance.” — Theonie Wang
