Tony first played with the orchestra when he was 14 as winner of the Christchurch Junior Concerto Competition and again in 2007 when he won the National Concerto Competition.
This time Benjamin Northey will conduct the CSO‘s “Pathétique” concert named after Tchaikovsky’s 6th Symphony which forms the bulk of the concert … it begins with Leonie Holmes’ Ancient Rhythms.
Tony did his under grad at Canterbury with Peter Nagy and his Masters in Freiburg where he now lives. Tony Chen Lin has had a very busy few months, recording his first solo CD Digressions for Rattle; it features solo piano work by Bartok, Bach, and Schumann and Tony’s own new piece Digression.
He speaks with Eva Radich
