Prof. Ilya Gringolts from the Department of Music at Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), has been invited to perfom in Hong Kong on 22 September 2018. Youngest winner of the prestigious International Violin Competition Premio Paginini, internationally-acclaimed violinist Ilya Gringolts has been revered for his virtuosic playing and sensitive interpretations towards the classical music repertoire. Having performed with leading orchestras around the world that has included the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony and NHK Symphony, Gringolts will be making his Hong Kong début with Hong Kong Sinfonietta.

Gringolts will perform the Asian première of Swiss composer Michael Jarrell’s Des Nuages et des Brouillards (Of Clouds and Mists) (2016), which, for its first movement, adapts a piece Jarrell composed for the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Belgium in 2015. The complete work was premiered by Gringolts himself last year in Lausanne.
