ABOUT THE CONCERT

Live at Yours opens its 2026 season in luminous style — within the mood-lit splendour of Toorak Synagogue, where golden arches and soft shadows create an atmosphere of quiet wonder.

Italian-based violinist Sergej Krylov, hailed by Mstislav Rostropovich as one of the five greatest violinists in the world, joins Konstantin Shamray, a Live at Yours favourite, for an evening of rare electricity and emotional depth.

Their program blazes with the gypsy passion and French flair of Ravel, the sparkling wit of Saint-Saëns, and the radiant romanticism of Franck — music that dances between fire and tenderness, precision and abandon.

Renowned across Europe for his fusion of searing virtuosity and luminous warmth, Krylov makes his maiden Australian tour — an unmissable chance to experience one of the world’s great violinists up close.
