Nina Schumann and Luis Magalhães to perform in KZNPO concert on October 29.

The KZN Philharmonic has announced a change in the programme of the concert to be held on October 29 titled Lyrical Duo. The duo, whose international performances have earned popular and critical acclaim, will now be South African pianist Nina Schumann and Portuguese partner Luis Magalhães.
The programme which will be led by the accomplished Japanese conductor Yasuo Shinozaki includes Wagner’s Tannhäuser: Overture, Mendelssohn’s Concerto for 2 Pianos in E major and Brahms’s Symphony No.4 in E minor. The four contrasting movements of the Brahms symphony, with its periods of subtlety alternating with those of great intensity, have ensured it a well-earned popularity among music lovers and makes for a notable conclusion to the concert.

As always the Friends of Music host a pre-concert talk at the Royal Hotel at 18h15. The talks are designed to enrich the experience of the concert goer. The admission is R30 pp and light refreshments are served.
