Leon Fei plays concerto with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra

Leon Fei, a Scotch boy in Year 9, is one of the finest school age violinists in the country, and as such was invited to be soloist for a concerto with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra on Saturday, Feb 16. He performed the final movement of the Chen Gang/He Zhanhao Violin Concerto: "The Butterfly Lovers" to a packed out Myer Music bowl in the MSO Sidney Myer Free Concert series.

 

This is the fourth Scotch musician to perform as a soloist with the MSO in relatively recent years. The others are Lin Jiang (now Principal Horn with the Hong Kong Philharmonic), Max Foster (scholarship winner to the Juilliard School in New York, and now at Yale), and Andrew Kawai (Oboe).
