Another Guadagnini treasure has been added to the
Ngeringa Arts collection.
Ngeringa Arts has become the Trustee of a magnificent Guadagnini violin previously played by violin virtuoso, Carmel Hakendorf and currently on loan to South Australia’s Sophie Rowell.
The Guadagnini violin, worth almost $1million, was crafted by J.B. Guadagnini in Milan in 1751. Adelaide audiences can hear the instrument when Sophie performs with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra on 13 November at Adelaide Town Hall.

Audiences will
be absolutely spoilt in the coming months with a performance from virtuoso
pianist Ashley Hribar.
Ashley will dazzle audiences making a return to the farm for the first time since 2011. The program will includes works by Scriabin, Messiaen and his own version of the Mephisto Walz by Liszt. To finish he will play a work he conceptualized in 2010 which is based around two Bach preludes.
Ashley will perform solo due to a late program change as a result of trumpeter Jeroen Berwaertz not being able to travel due to family reasons.
