Abstract "This book traces the migration of celebrity violinists to and from Australia to investigate routes of contact between metropoles and peripheries, the impact of world wars and political instability on patterns of musical migration. Drawing on new research in personal and institutional archives, and with reference to migration studies, empire studies, celebrity studies and studies of violinists and violin culture, this book explores the interconnectedness of migration and virtuoso music-making in an era of modernisation and globalisation"-- Provided by publisher.
