The Otago Festival proudly presents this remarkable musician as the gala opening of the Festival. David Helfgott became a household name as a result of the movie “Shine”, which celebrates his inspiring early life before his forced hospitalisation.
David Helfgott has enjoyed a triumphant return to the concert platforms of the world with an exhaustive concert diary.
His solo recital on the Town Hall stage is guaranteed to be a remarkable, moving and unforgettable experience.
“He magically turns the piano into an orchestra with a variety of sound colours. He plays the piano right from the depth of his feeling and his fingers enable him to accomplish sheer miracles.” Bonn Critic
“I am reluctant to use the word genius, but I would certainly make an exception with David Helfgott. He is certainly one of the most exceptional pianists and musicians I have ever had the good fortune to know. “ Peter Feuchtwanger
