World-renowned violinist Ray Chen makes his long-awaited return to Australia with some of the most demanding, impressive, and emotionally riveting works for violin, including masterpieces by Beethoven, Brahms, and Bach. Born in Taiwan and raised in Australia, Ray was accepted to the Curtis Institute of Music at age 15, where he studied with Aaron Rosand and was supported by Young Concert Artists. Ray is the brightest star in the new generation of violinists, appeared with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra, and other international music groups. His performances ring with the freedom of a master musician unrestrained by technical limitations.
