Bruch Violin Concerto No 1
Michael Fowler Centre
Wellington
New Zealand
Conductor: Ken Young
NGC Wellington Sinfonia
April 2003

In 2003, age 13,  Ben returned to his home town of Wellington, New Zealand for a series of concerts culminating in a performance of the Bruch Violin Concerto No 1 in G minor with the NGC Wellington Sinfonia to an audience of over 1,800.

The critics said:

"His technique is fully up to the demands of the Bruch and he produced a lovely sound from what is clearly a quality instrument".

Dominion Post.

"Baker's Triumphant Return. The standard of playing that he offered was impressive for one so young. A talented young man and definitely one to watch in the near future."
