The event is part of the 20th anniversary of the competition and is on Sunday August 12 from 2.30pm.
Ms Gardner will perform dazzling virtuosic violin works by Wieniawski, Saint-Saens and Corrigiolano.
She will be joined in this performance by artistic leaders of the competition, Jeanell Carrigan and Goetz Richter and the international cellist Leslie Tan.
Leslie Tan is a member of the acclaimed Tang String Quartet resident at the Yong Sieh Toh Conservatorium in Singapore, said artistic director of the competition, Goetz Richter.
“It seems like the stars are aligning for Kendall: welcoming back a brilliant young finalist from 2017 and at the same time performing Schubert’s blissful piano trio with Leslie Tan from Singapore and Jeanell Carrigan will make for a sublime afternoon of music,” the artistic director said.
The performance on August 12 in Kendall is part of a busy schedule for Mitzi Gardner. She will perform as a soloist with the Willoughby Symphony Orchestra before heading to London in September to commence her studies as a scholarship student at the Royal Academy.
The finals of the 20th Kendall National Violin Competition will be on September 15 at the Kendall School of Arts.
All proceeds from the concert on August 12 will benefit the competition.
Additional donations to the competition are tax-deductible as the competition is a registered charity.
