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 2025 ANAM Recital series.
In 2025 the ANAM Set is back. Musicians in their 3rd year of training present a specially commissioned work as part of their recital program.
An Afternoon of Lyrical, Passionate and Expressive Melodies
“This program showcases the mastery behind some of the most melodic and emotionally rich works in the violin repertoire. I’m so excited to present these three pieces — each one displays profound artistry and expression.”
