Anthony Marwood: Artist-in-Residence at the 2026 Adelaide Festival
Violinist Anthony Marwood will return to Adelaide Festival in 2026 as part of their Artist-in-Residence series. Known for his “boundless energy, intellectual curiosity and creative wizardry” (BBC Music Magazine), Marwood will appear across three performances at Elder Hall from 2–4 March.
The residency opens with Shadow & Light (2 March), featuring Marwood with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra in Vaughan Williams’s The Lark Ascending and Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 2 (arranged for string orchestra). On 3 March, Breath & Bow presents Marwood with ASO musicians performing Beethoven’s Septet, alongside Tomasi’s “Fanfare liturgiques”. The series concludes on 4 March with Marwood & Mustonen, a duo recital featuring pianist Olli Mustonen, their first performance together, which includes Shostakovich’s Sonata for Violin and Piano and solo repertoire.
Festival audiences will have the opportunity to hear him perform on the 1709 Antonio Stradivari violin, the ‘ex Scotta-Kaulbach, Kempner’ (Cremona), generously loaned by Adelaide-based UKARIA Cultural Centre.
