The Michael Hill International Violin Competition is one of the most demanding competitions of its kind. The winner receives $40,000, a record release with Atoll, and the most coveted prize of all - the winner’s tour.
This year’s winner is Canadian violinist Nikki Chooi. For this tour he is joined by New Zealand’s most in demand international pianist, Stephen De Pledge, for three exciting programmes of absolute fireworks, from Ravel’s gypsy Tzigane and the De Falla Suite Espagnole, to the virtuoso Ysaÿe and profound Prokofiev No 1. Jack Body’s Caravan had critics raving for its evocative depiction of the Silk Road: and trios follow with cellist Ashley Brown, including Smetana’s Bohemian masterpiece, his piano trio of 1855.
