A performance by the renowned cellist Steven Isserlis or the brilliant young Russian violinist Alina Ibragimova demands celebration - so let us shout you a glass of bubbly when you attend their concerts with the Australian Chamber Orchestra.

Miss Ibragimova, a rising star acclaimed for sizzling virtuosity, will both direct the ACO and play Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.
You’ll also be in the running to win one of 10 signed copies of Steven Isserlis’s children’s book about the lives of the composers, Why Beethoven Threw the Stew.
