Seasons with Emily Sun

In August 2022, Steel City Strings – the Illawarra’s premiere chamber ensemble – brings to the region Max Richter’s energised Recomposed Four Seasons featuring Australian violinist Emily Sun (2018’s ABC Young Performer of the Year) as the soloist.

“This is a rare opportunity to hear Emily Sun in the local community,” says Steel City Strings’ manager, Lyndall Fowler.

“Steel City Strings are thrilled about the chance to play with a soloist of this calibre.”

Emily has played all over the world and has won multiple international prizes.

“Richter’s Vivaldi Recomposed is a piece every music lover should hear at least once in their life,” says artistic director Kyle Little. “This piece takes a classic work like the Four Seasons and changes it to the musical language of the 21st century.”

The concert also includes the stately ‘Concerto Grosso in G minor’ and the effervescent ‘Concerto for Two Violins in C Major’. The latter features Steel City Strings’ violinists Kyle Little and Matthew Tsalidis as the soloists.

“This will be my first-time playing solo with Steel City Strings,” says Matthew, who has played in Steel City Strings since 2018. “It’s duelling passages are particularly electric, and this kind of repertoire excites audiences immensely.”
