Ariel Zuckermann debuts with MDR Sinfonieorchester Leipzig on 16 December at Leipzig’s Gewandhaus. The programme consists of Stravinsky’s Pulcinella Suite and Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite along with two concertos for mandolin and orchestra by Hummel and Vivaldi with soloist Avi Avital. 

The debut rounds off a very busy and exciting 2017 for Ariel including a major tour with the Australian Youth Orchestra in the summer, and returns to the Telavi Festival in Tbilisi with Eliso Virsaladze and the Tonkünstler Orchestra for concerts at Vienna Musikverein.
