Exciting news! ASA has confirmed Zakhar Bron, famed violin teacher from Russia to be the guest violin tutor at the 2009 Summer School. Professor Bron is well-known as the teacher of Maxim Vengerov, Vadim Repin and Chloë Hanslip. This will be the first time Bron has ever visited Australia, and we expect demand to be very popular as it is extremely rare to have an opportunity to learn from him, anywhere in the world.
