One of Australia’s most important violinists, William Hennessy pays the Gold Coast a visit so we can pay tribute to his 60th birthday.

His career has spanned 38 countries with over 250 appearances playing all the major concerti with every Australian and many international orchestras, eleven years as founding leader of the Australian string quartet, four years as concertmaster of the Tasmanian Symphony orchestra and substantial periods as a member of the Academy of St Martin in the fields, the English Chamber orchestra and the Macquarie trio. Bill is an artist of the highest standing.

Currently the Artistic Director of the acclaimed Melbourne Chamber orchestra, Bill has selected a program of some of his favourite music to perform with series director Stewart Kelly.

Their selections include a rarely heard work of the great Australian composer Peter Sculthorpe who we sadly lost in 2014, alongside virtuosic war horses from Mozart and Brahms and the charming salon music of Kreisler.
