ANAM Recital: Lachlan MacLaren

As a musician’s instrumental proficiency develops, so too does their artistic taste and temperament. Each ANAM musician’s recital is a snapshot in time – simultaneously summarising their year of training and revealing glimpses of their future selves. What music excites them? What do they want to communicate? How does their art help them understand the world better? Hear what the next generation of virtuosi have to say, and how, in the 2026 ANAM Recital series.

"A very conventional program, curated and performed by someone who tends to shy away from the conventional, so... in a way, not a conventional recital at all. It's an attempt to make peace with mainstays of the violin repertoire - great pillars that loom over every young player. I both fear and love this music. It's not particularly virtuosic, but it is unequivocally beautiful." — Lachlan MacLaren
