Kaito Deed.

THE constitution, Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, was created. Napolean Bonaparte was appointed leader and First Consul of the French Republic. In 1803, Beethoven began work on a mighty Eroica (heroic) symphony, dedicated to the man who he believed embodied the new democratic and anti-monarchical ideals.

The concerto, a work for solo performer and orchestra, demands a mastery of technical, analytical, aural and inter-personal skills. Central Coast musician Kaito Deed, winner of the Adjudicator’s and People’s Awards at the 2023 Symphony Central Coast Prodigies concert, will perform Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, which was initially met with mixed reviews but has since become a favourite among soloists and audiences. With lyric, folk-like melodies, a heroic cadenza, and a lively dance to conclude, this work is spirited and joyous, with bags of character.

Kaito, a year 12 student at Gosford High, is currently the concertmaster of the Central Coast Youth Orchestra. He was the winner of the Allen Family Scholarship in 2022, the Pearl Beach Senior Scholarship and the People’s Choice Award in 2023.
