SIMON TEDESCHI WITH YAMEN SAADI
Vienna Philharmonic’s youngest ever concertmaster makes his highly anticipated Australian debut with legendary pianist Simon Tedeschi
Join two of classical music’s finest artists in an evening of unbridled virtuosity, as Australia’s favourite immersive concert series, Live at Yours, presents the highly anticipated Australian debut of the Vienna Philharmonic’s youngest-ever concertmaster, Yamen Saadi, alongside legendary pianist Simon Tedeschi, this March.
Simon Tedeschi with Yamen Saadi will feature the 27-year-old Nazareth-born violinist performing miniature masterpieces by Austrian-American composer Fritz Kreisler and Edvard Grieg on Kreisler’s original 1734 Stradivari violin. The duo will take the stage at the Melbourne Recital Centre on Tuesday, 18th March 2025, followed by a performance at Sydney’s heritage-listed Great Synagogue on Wednesday, 19th March 2025.
Described by The Berliner Morgenpost as possessing a truly “beguiling sound,” Saadi has performed as a soloist with some of the world’s most prestigious orchestras, including the Staatskapelle Berlin, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, and the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra. In 2022, at just 25 years old, Saadi made history as the youngest-ever concertmaster of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, following his earlier role as concertmaster of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, which he held since his teenage years.
Saadi will be joined on stage by one of Australia’s most renowned classical pianists, Simon Tedeschi, whose illustrious career has seen him perform in major concert halls and festivals across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. Tedeschi has also played for world leaders, including former US President George W. Bush and the Dalai Lama.
Don’t miss this extraordinary collaboration, where two exceptional talents unite for a night of musical brilliance that promises to be unforgettable.

Amazing beautiful and necessary in this increasingly threatening world
At last I have seen a concert at The Melbourne Recital Centre and with such brilliant artists. This concert was a treasure to remember.
What an amazing evening. The music was wonderful. Loved the commentary. Could have been sitting in a living room together with the musicians. I didn’t know the music but loved every minute
Great venue and performance!
The informal aspect of it needed to be thought through a bit more for it to be successful
Lovely performances

I was in awe of the talent of Simon Tedeschi and Yamen Saadi. The music was pure genius complimented by Elizabeth Murdoch Hall. I also enjoyed the interaction between the artists and the audience. Being able to ask them questions was a treat!

Violin sounded divine, we really enjoyed the concert!
amazing musicians!
Sublime evening of music. It was such a privilege to hear such extraordinary musicians. Thank you OTH for enabling this event.
The Melbourne Recital Centre provided the perfect backdrop to these amazingly talented musicians. The Stratovarius violin played by the talented Yamen provided a unique experience we in Australia are not readily afforded. It was a wonderful evening.
An outstanding nights entertainment. We very much enjoyed these two very talented musicians.
This was an AMAZING concert and personal experience! Simon Tedeschi and Yamen Saadi were incredibly great! Their performance was extraordinary. And, on top of all their musical virtuosity, Simon and Vladimir Fanshil (the organiser of this musical event and the co-founder of "Live at Yours" art company) brought great humour and some hilarious moments to the stage - a great distinguishing ingredient to remember! I would love to see more of these three amazing artists - any day, any time! A big "thank you" to all three artists, to the venue that hosted this event, and to "On the House" for connecting the audiences with this magical event!
Yamen Saadi & Simon Tedeschi were outstanding and gifted musicians which provided wonderful entertainment for all who attended. We felt very privileged to have attended this amazing concert.

Wow what a show, beautiful sound filled the amazing recital centre, emanating from 2 masters of their craft it was hard to believe there were only 2 musicians on stage .. I also loved the discussion and learning about the history of the music and instruments which made me appreciate the music all the more
Great arrangement with the two instruments in harmony or in contrast. Appreciate the technical skills and the sound the violin makes. A musical therapy for the ears and heart.
Blown away by the talent! What a treat. Two incredible musicians coming together in a surprisingly intimate and casual recital despite the venue and location. Wonderfully executed and iconic.
Loved every moment
Amazing! So talented musicians! Loved the program and great venue.
What a wonderful night of beautiful, expressive musicianship from both Simon Tedeschi and Yamen Saadi. Saadi is a gifted violinist who plays with an effortless, beguiling style and Tedeschi's piano playing was a perfect match.
