On this day in 2000, "The Devil's Fiddler", Roby Lakatos, performed in the Concert Hall as part of Brisbane Festival. He made a huge impression with his virtuosic skill at Hungarian gypsy violin, which has to be seen to be believed. Fortunately Lakatos and his ensemble are returning to QPAC in December.
