Introducing Lina Tur Bonet, fearless virtuoso and musical imaginista.

Regarded as one of the most exciting violinists of her generation, Tur Bonet has delighted and fascinated fans across Europe with her performances of repertoire ranging from Bach to Messiaen. Now she makes her Australian debut with Musica Alchemica, a hand-picked ensemble who bring fiery honesty and endless invention to works by Corelli, Telemann, Biber and other jewels of the Baroque.

'Bonet and her musicians capture it all: the lightness and gravity, the wit and the seriousness, the ardency and the soul.' – Gramophone

Paul Kildea:
'Lina Tur Bonet – the Kate Bush of early music – is a ferociously good player, but there is additionally a wonderful lustre to her presentation of works she inhabits so singularly and convincingly.'
