Sydney Symphony Orchestra: Benjamin Beilman performs Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto
11 July @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm AEST

Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto doesn’t leave you waiting, with the soloist launching dramatically into its lyrical story from the start.
Intimate and beautiful, the work captures all the sparkle of the Classical era while setting the tone for the expressive Romanticism of later masterpieces.
It’s thrilling to hear live, and provides ample room for one of classical music’s brightest young stars, the ‘mightily impressive’ (Washington Post) Benjamin Beilman, to showcase his virtuosity. Since his Sydney debut in 2019, Benjamin Beilman has established himself as one of classical music’s brightest young stars – now he’s back to perform one of the great concertos.
