For our 4th festival we begin a long term partnership with the Young Classical Artists Trust in London that will see the most exciting talents from Europe come to Bendigo exclusively. This year we feature two extraordinary artists – Leeds Piano Competition Prize winner Ariel Lanyi and Classic FM’s 2022 Rising Star Artist, clarinetist, Jonathan Leibovitz.
We welcome for the first time Australian virtuosic violin talents Emily Sun, Elizabeth Layton and Alexandra Osborne, Sydney Symphony principal viola Amanda Verner, MSO principal horn Nicolas Fleury and all-round bravura pianist Laurence Matheson. Sophie, Tobi and Daniel all join us once again as part of the BCMF family. Our ongoing partnership with ANAM also continues with the Artamidae quartet performing throughout the festival, prior to their London debut in autumn.
