The Australian Chamber Orchestra welcomes back the charismatic Italian violinist Lorenza Borrani as Guest Director of its upcoming national tour titled Beethoven & Prokofiev.

One of Europe’s most sought after violinists Lorenza is a musician close to the heart of the ACO. When she first performed with them in 2016, the ACO musicians were captivated by her spirited exploration of timeless classics and her enduring commitment to new music. Lorenza’s return this March, is eagerly awaited, when she will lead the orchestra in her own arrangement of Prokofiev’s brooding Violin Sonata No.1 in F minor alongside Beethoven’s stirring String Quartet, Op.135, written just a few months before his death.

Performances in Sydney and Newcastle at Newcastle City Hall Thursday 7 March | 7.30pm
