Win a double pass: Charlie Siem, one of today’s foremost young violinists, is in Australia for the first time. He is giving a concert with the Omega Ensemble on 1st April at Borrodell Vineyard in Orange. Born in London to a Norwegian father and Brit- ish mother, he began to play the violin at the age of three after hearing a broadcast of Yehudi Menuhin playing Beethoven’s violin concerto. He was educated at Eton College, before reading music as an un- dergraduate at Cambridge University. From 1998 to 2004 he studied with Itzhak Rashkovsky in London at the Royal College of Music, and from 2004 he has been mentored by Shlomo Mintz.

Charlie has appeared with many of the world’s finest orchestras, including the Lon- don Symphony Orchestra, Royal Philhar- monic Orchestra, Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, Czech National Symphony Orchestra, Bergen Philharmonic Orches- tra and the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra. Book tickets for the show at borrodell.com. au/events or call 6365 3425.
