Universally hailed as one of the world’s finest musicians, and often referred to as the greatest living string player in the world today, Grammy award winner Maxim Vengerov is one of the most in-demand soloists, and also enjoys international acclaim as a conductor.

Born in 1974, he began his career as a solo violinist at the age of five, made his first recording at the age of 10, and went on to record extensively for high-profile labels including Melodia, Teldec and EMI.

Following Vengerov’s performance with the Auckland Philharmonia, he will join three talented aspiring violinists from the University of Auckland School of Music for an afternoon of mentorship. Each violinist will have the opportunity to perform for Vengerov and receive feedback from him in return.

This is a unique opportunity to see a musical legend sharing his expertise with the next generation of music makers.
