Feted for his effortless renditions of the otherwise impossible – from Paganini and Locatelli to Brett Dean – Ilya’s performances and recordings have established him as one of the quintessential violin virtuosi of our time. He has performed as soloist with the world’s leading orchestras, including a recent collaboration with the Australian Chamber Orchestra.

Ensemble Liaison is one of Australia's most captivating trios, renowned for their eclectic programming and synergistic collaborations. Described by Limelight as a 'national treasure', they regularly appear at Australia's premier festivals including the Australian Festival of Chamber Music, the Melbourne International Arts Festival, the Port Fairy Spring Music Festival and the Woodend Winter Arts Festival. Since its inception in 2007, their popular 'Ensemble Liaison & Friends' series (co-presented with the Melbourne Recital Centre) has showcased a star-studded array of guest artists, including Ray Chen, Nemanja Radulović, Henning Kraggerud, Emma Matthews, and Tim Munro. In September they add Campbell Diamond to that impressive list, and we're particularly glad there'll be an opportunity to hear them together at UKARIA.

At home performing music from almost any epoch from Baroque to Jazz, Jeroen's extraordinary commitment to contemporary music is evident in the numerous world premieres he has given, including Toshio Hosokawa's second trumpet concerto Im Nebel and Francesco Filidei's Carnevale.

For this special UKARIA debut, Jeroen is joined by an artist who needs little introduction: Russian pianist Konstantin Shamray. Staples of the solo-trumpet repertoire (including the Hindemith Sonata which Jeroen recorded with Alexander Melnikov for Harmonia Mundi in 2015) feature prominently in a diverse program flecked with the golden hues of jazz.

Join multiple Grammy Award Nominee Jazzmeia Horn – along with her pianist Victor Gould – and Dr Lyndon Gray (double bass) and Jackson Mack (drums) from the Elder Conservatorium of Music, for an intimate afternoon of dazzling jazz in the sublime setting of UKARIA Cultural Centre.
