Vladimir Ashkenazy Returning to Sydney for Beethoven Celebration
These performances mark Ashkenazy's first visit to Sydney since his highly successful tenure as SSO Principal Conductor from 2009 to 2013. American pianist Garrick Ohlsson, Canadian violinist James Ehnes, Japanese pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii and Australian pianist Jayson Gillham will join Ashkenazy across six concert programs in February and October devoted solely to the music of Beethoven.
"I enjoy working with the [Sydney Symphony Orchestra] tremendously," Ashkenazy says. "There is a wonderful feeling of coming back... I have enjoyed my visits to Australia immensely and Australian audiences have always greeted me warmly. I've always felt very much at home."
