(Philippe Graffin)For the third programme of the season, the KZN Philharmonic will welcome to the podium the highly distinguished German conductor, Thomas Sanderling, a member of one of Europe’s most celebrated musical dynasties, with a popular mostly-Brahms repertoire:.
He will open the concert with the turbulent Tragic Overture, composed in 1880, and concluding with Symphony No. 1 in C minor. The evening’s soloist is the fine French violinist, Philippe Graffin, who takes the spotlight performing Samuel Barber’s Violin Concerto, one of the more frequently performed of 20th century concertos.
The concert takes place at the Durban City Hall on May 31 at 19h00. Booking is at Computicket. There will be a pre-concert talk at 17h30 in the City Hall’s supper room prior to the performance.
Some 30 additional security personnel are positioned in and around the City Hall, Royal and Albany hotels to escort patrons to and from the vehicles. For further information and subscription bookings, contact 031 369 9438/9404 or visit www.kznpo.co.za
