The devil played the violin for Tartini in a dream. The music was charismatic, electrifying, fiendishly difficult and utterly transfixing. Tartini awoke and transcribed the melody, penning the Devil's Trill sonata. It can only be played by someone astounding.
Ilya Gringolts is that player, returning with his dazzling virtuosity and commanding stage presence for his third tour with the Australian Chamber Orchestra. In the rehearsal room, Gringolts brings an intellectual curiosity and joy in experimentation, whether he's playing Vivaldi or breathing life into new music. On stage, the result is an assured mastery, where the most difficult music appears effortless.
Gringolts and the Australian Chamber Orchestra explore their shared passion for authentic interpretations of Italian Baroque music in a sparkling program featuring Geminiani, Tartini and Vivaldi - where Gringolts will be joined by ACO Principal Violin Satu Vänskä - performed in contrast with contemporary works.
