Accompanied by the brilliant pianist Polina Osetinskaya, the two will delight audiences with a demanding program including works by Ravel, Franck and Prokofiev.
Secure your seats for this rare opportunity to witness the magic of these two phenomenal artists, who have been thrilling crowds across the world including recent sold-out recitals at Carnegie Hall. Get ready for an unforgettable night of music.
Maxim Vengerov
Universally hailed as one of the world’s finest musicians, and often referred to as the greatest living string player in the world today, Grammy award winner Maxim Vengerov also enjoys international acclaim as a conductor and is one of the most in-demand soloists.
Born in 1974, he began his career as a solo violinist at the age of five, won the Wieniawski and Carl Flesch international competitions at the age of 10 and 15 respectively, studied with Galina Tourchaninova and Zakhar Bron, made his first recording at the age of 10, and went on to record extensively for high-profile labels including Melodia, Teldec and EMI, earning Grammy and Gramophone artist of the year awards.
Polina Osetinskaya
In the 2023/24 season, pianist Polina Osetinskaya made several solo debuts at the Berlin Philharmonic, in London, and at Laeiszhalle in Bach’s concerts without a conductor. She also performs in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Israel, Cyprus, USA and South America. Polina has performed with Maxim Vengerov in numerous concert halls across America during their tours.
Five Stars - It is as if Vengerov has taken each note and taken it as close to perfection as is humanly possible ... the way he finds the music in the virtuosic madness is what makes his playing so inspiring.
Sydney Morning Herald
Vengerov justifies the hype that sees him placed as the finest before the public today…There was nothing to fault, for here was a recital which must immediately rank not only amongst the finest witnessed this year, but in all my years of concertgoing.
Limelight
Maxim Vengerov enthralled his audience with incomparable musicianship and an often dazzling technique.

The 2024 HSBC German Film Festival proudly presented by Palace in cooperation with German Films, will feature a superb selection of contemporary German cinema. This year the festival, which is pleased to welcome aboard new naming rights partner HSBC, screens from 7 May – 5 June at Palace Cinemas nationally, plus Palace Nova and Luna Palace Cinemas.
First highlights include the acclaimed new drama from Camera d’Or winning writer/director Claire Burger, FOREIGN LANGUAGE (Langue Étrangère), which arrives direct from the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale). Two foreign language students in Leipzig and Strasbourg forge a friendship through letters and language exchange in this impeccable, heartfelt drama, starring Nina Hoss as one of their mothers. Their bittersweet and boundary-testing friendship is strained as they grapple with how to understand themselves and the world that surrounds them.
Set in contemporary Berlin, comedy/drama ONE FOR THE ROAD stars festival favourite Frederick Lau (in an outstanding performance) alongside Nora Tschirner. A deeply touching and distinctly authentic story from director Markus Goller (25km/h GFF19), the film alternates between Berlin’s famous bars and sober therapy rooms.
Featuring an all-star cast, DARK SATELLITES (Die stillen Trabanten) is a moving ensemble drama set in nighttime Leipzig that tells three stories about the impossibility of love. Set amongst the everyday lives of its characters, these beautifully poetic vignettes feature an all-star cast including Nastassja Kinski and Albrecht Schuch.
Set in Switzerland on the cusp of WWII, historical drama LUBO centres around the superb performance of German star Franz Rogowski as a Swiss street performer. Featuring in the 'Beyond the Borders’ sidebar, which profiles German language films from other countries, Rogowski’s character seeks justice upon losing his family due to a national campaign to re-educate Yenish (a minority nomadic community) children in Switzerland.
From the popular ‘Kino for Kids’ sidebar, presented by the Goethe-Institut Australia, comes MISSION: SCHOOL OF FUN (Die unlangweiligste Schule der Welt – Auf Klassenfahrt). There is no such thing as boredom at school as the school day becomes a cinematic adventure in this imaginative tale following nine-year-old action fan Max, adapted from Sabrina J. Kirschner’s bestselling children’s book series.
Family friendly film THE FLYING CLASSROOM (Das fliegende Klassenzimmer) is a big-screen adaptation of Erich Kästner’s best-selling children’s and young adult's book of the same name. This thrilling and entertaining adventure features an outstanding cast of up-and-coming talent and will entertain film goers of all ages.
Two further titles for families and children will be announced in the full programme release in April.

Monstrous Theatre have just announced the world premiere of celebrated Australian playwright Ron Elisha’s dangerous comedy ROOTLESS COSMOPOLITANS. It will be directed by Suzanne Heywood and performed at Chapel off Chapel from 15th May - 2nd June 2024.
This timely and thought-provoking black comedy explores the polarising power of social media, antisemitism, and the minefield of identity politics.
The play centres around esteemed artistic director Ira Brot, who in six short years has transformed a small, struggling theatre company into an international sensation. Ira has the world at his feet - money, influence, and creative freedom – but one little tweet threatens to derail his perfect life.
Add to this his Jewish convert wife, a vaguely antisemitic theatre company Chairperson and an ambitious assistant director waiting in the wings, and you have the ingredients for the oldest of all culture wars, played out on a modern stage. Ira must also deal with a complex relationship with his mother who, although long dead, is alive and kvetching inside his head.
