Winner of the 2026 Michael Hill International Violin Competition, Italian-Australian violinist Beatrice Colombis joins NZSO principal cellist Andrew Joyce and acclaimed concert pianist Jian Liu to share a kaleidoscopic programme that includes Maurice Ravel’s colouristic Piano Trio, Franz Schubert’s sublime Notturno, Sergey Prokofiev’s emotionally charged F minor violin sonata, and Selina Fisher’s Chasm – commissioned for the 2026 MHIVC, and which and where Beatrice also won the prize for the best performance.
