Tempo Rubato: Anna da Silva Chen – Obsession
7 June @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm AEST

Mostly unknown yet strangely familiar gems from three centuries of solo violin music, featuring composers whose voices are too singular to be ignored.
Works by Nicola Matteis Jr, Thomas Green, Max Reger, Johann Georg Pisendel and Eugène Ysaÿe.
Anna da Silva Chen is widely regarded as one of Australia’s most versatile concert violinists, equally at home as a soloist, chamber musician, and director. Known for her virtuosity and boundless curiosity, she takes a keen interest in diverse stylistic practices across several musical periods, with a particular passion for neglected repertoire.
