In this performance, ACO Principal Violin Satu Vänskä questions what happens when you combine one of Paganini’s most fiendish caprices with a character created by a Russian dramatist.
Satu’s quirky, isolation-fuelled interpretation of Paganini’s virtuosic Caprice for Violin No. 5, filmed in 2020, was inspired in part by the Finnish Maid in Gogol’s short story ‘Diary of a Madman’.
ACO Principal Violin Satu Vänskä shares rare insights into her early life, learning music from a young age, and highlights in her career to date, including joining the Australian Chamber Orchestra.
Artistic Director Richard Tognetti sits down with broadcaster Yumi Stynes to unpack the magic of ACO StudioCasts.
