Sueye – not to be confused with Sydney-born violinist Susie Park – has a back story that you might expect from a night in with Netflix. Her introduction to the instrument came when as a four-year-old she was in a restaurant and was fascinated by the band, using two chopsticks to mimic the violinist. She was allowed to touch the violin and shortly after her destiny was assured when her mother bought her a tiny violin.

In 2009, when she was nine, she so impressed Professor Ulf Wallin with her Handel sonatas (she asked for and got facsimile original scores, which she found easier to read!) that he signed her up for Berlin’s Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler.

By the age of 12, she was on video playing Mendelssohn’s E Minor Concerto with the Berlin Phil. Amateur videos show her performing a Paganini concerto movement at the Israel Opera House at the age of 11, and there’s a more mature and better produced film of Saint-Säens’ Introduction and Rondo. They all capture her intensity and concentration. The music is produced so naturally, and with such poetry and attention to structure, that it is clear that here is a talent that comes along very rarely.

When she was 15 she started performing Paganini’s 24 Caprices in a single concert, capping off this formidable challenge with the BIS recording deal. Sueye has studied facsimiles of Paganini’s original score to gain insights into these daunting exercises, which throw down the gauntlet for fingering and bowing techniques.

She takes multi-stopping, octave runs, pizzicati (left and right hand), harmonics and other virtuosic effects in her stride on her loaned 1739 Guarneri ‘del Gesu’, and what’s more she makes an exciting musical journey out of what so often sounds like student fiddlers showing off.
