2026 finale for Live at Yours
'We've felt truly blessed by the community's support this season, helping us open the doors of our beautiful synagogues and share music with the wider public.'
Live at Yours will close its synagogue concert season bringing three of Australia’s most extraordinary artists, violinist Satu Vänskä, cellist Elina Faskhi and pianist Konstantin Shamray, together for The Boundless Heart.
Melbourne audiences will also get a treat with the concert hosted by clarinettist David Griffiths, who will join musicians on stage for a klezmer piece.
Live at Yours founder Vladimir Fanshil said Griffiths was well suited to the role, describing him as a virtuosic classical clarinettist with a special love of klezmer.
“David brings warmth, wit and a little mischief. Having him host our Melbourne finale, and pick up his clarinet for some klezmer, will make this feel like a celebration among friends,” Fanshil said.
Griffiths, originally from Armidale in New South Wales, is a member of Ensemble Liaison and the Australia Ensemble UNSW, and teaches clarinet at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music. He completed his Master of Music at the Manhattan School of Music, where his teachers included clarinettist David Krakauer. He has performed at Live at Yours with Ensemble Liaison in a program of Jewish music that included klezmer.
