A multiple award winning German violinist, composer and arranger, Florian Willeitner integrates classical, jazz and folk music from all over the world, and has founded the production company Pool of Invention in pursuit of that goal. He’s touring Australia with the Vision String Quartet, thanks to Musica Viva. Conductor Jeffrey Tate described the quartet as “the most perfect expression of human behaviour", and Der Tagesspiegel praised them as “amazingly vivacious, vivid and electrifying".

Florian has an incredibly refreshing take on making music, and his passion for reinvention and ensuring music remains relevant for modern audiences is infectious.

Florian Willeitner and the Vision String Quartet will perform at the City Recital Hall on October 7 and 9.
