“Not only is he technically brilliant, he performs with such verve and passion that it is hard to believe he is still just 19 years of age. As another critic asserts ‘his future is bright indeed.’
“His forthcoming performance with Worthing Symphony Orchestra is a real achievement for music director John Gibbons who has an uncanny knack of booking young musicians who are on their way to the top.
“From a young Nicola Benedetti to Jess Gillam and the Kanneh-Masons, Worthing audiences have been fortunate over the years to see and hear prodigious talents who have gone on to stellar international careers. Johan Dalene is set to join their ranks.
