BARNABAS KELEMAN FOR KZNPO

Notable violinist to perform at KZNPO concert on February 19.

With a career that has been distinguished by numerous successful performances and prominent awards, Barnabas Kelemen is a notable addition to the KZN Philharmonic’s line-up for this season. He performs Mendelssohn’s lyrical Violin Concerto, which, with its frequent virtuoso passages, provides the soloist ample opportunity to showcase his technique and interpretive talents.

Conducted by Omri Hadari, the concert also features Elgar’s cryptic Enigma Variations, which has remained at the forefront of classical repertoire for many years. In it, the composer pays musical tribute to his family and friends through varying and expressive themes.

The concert takes place on February 19 at 19h30 in the Durban City Hall, with a pre-concert lecture from the Friends of Music in the Royal Hotel at 18h00. Booking for both is at Computicket.
