THE WINNER OF THE “PAGANINI” VIOLIN COMPETITION SIMON ZHU COLLABORATES WITH CAMERATA JUNIOR

The youth section of the now-Symphony Orchestra, and Orchestra in residence of the Megaron, will measure its strengths against the explosive and demanding Seventh Symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven. The concert will culminate with the appearance of the charismatic violinist Simon Zhu, who was the winner of the Paganini International Competition in 2023, while also receiving a special prize for the best performance of the virtuosic Violin Concerto No. 1 by Niccolò Paganini, a work he will perform on this brilliant evening.

*The soloist’s participation was secured thanks to the kind donation of Alexandros Sofianos in memory of his father, Kostis Sofianos.
