The conductor and programme of the KZN
Philharmonic Orchestra’s symphony concert tomorrow night (November 1) has been
changed due to unforeseen circumstances and the indisposition of the conductor.
Replacing the popular Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana is one of the best loved
symphonies of all time, Symphony No. 9 From
The New World in E Minor, Op. 95 by Dvořák, plus Ravel’s rousing Boléro.
The programme, which still includes
Respighi’s Fountains of Rome, will
now be conducted by the highly acclaimed German-born Frank Cramer.
International critics characterise Maestro Cramer as one who, in a very unique
way, combines inspiration, intensity and expression with naturalness and
professional skill.
The concert will mark the launch of the KZN
Philharmonic’s 30th anniversary. A chocolate and a complimentary glass of
sparkling wine will be served to all concert-goers during interval. Parking is
available in the Royal Parkade at R10 per vehicle and security is on duty for
the convenience of all audience members.
The concert takes place at 19h30 in the
Durban City Hall. A pre-concert lecture will take place in the Playhouse
Alhambra Room at 18h15 presented by Stavros Anthias. Tickets may be booked at
Computicket or on 031 369 9404 / 9438. They are also available at the door
before the concert.
