In the midst of the thrilling quarter-finals of the Michael Hill International Violin Competition 2026, the Queenstown Memorial Hall will be transformed for an evening of rarefied elegance and alluring artistry.
This is no ordinary dinner. It’s a harmoniously curated affair in which virtuosity and indulgence intertwine.
Guests will enjoy a locally-sourced and sumptuous meal prepared by Artisan Catering with matched Nockies Palette Wines.
The night shimmers with intimate and unforgettable performances from internationally celebrated violinists Josef Špaček (2009 Competition winner) and New Zealand’s own Geneva Lewis, both renowned concert violinists and members of the international panel of judges.
Join us for music that stirs and conversation that sparkles – a night to savour.
