(Junnan Sun, principal
clarinettist of the KZN Philharmonic)
Music history will be made during two very special concerts
due to take place in the Linder Auditorium in Johannesburg on October 28 and 29
as the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra performs with their KZN
counterparts, the KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic.
These concerts symbolically herald a new chapter for the
Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra (JPO) and the start of a new relationship
with their sister orchestra, the KZNPO, as the result of a signing of a
Memorandum of Understanding between the Boards of the KwaZulu-Natal
Philharmonic (KZN Philharmonic) and the JPO last month.
The concert begins with one of Mozart’s most famous works –
the Concerto for Clarinet in A major. This work is best known for its use in
the film Out of Africa starring
Robert Redford and Meryl Streep, and it is a true masterpiece of the
repertoire. Junnan Sun, the newly appointed principal clarinettist of the KZN
Philharmonic, steps up to perform this virtuosic and sensual work. Under the
baton of Daniel Raiskin, the evening’s programme will feature the grand
Mahler's Symphony No.5 in C Sharp minor.
The JPO and KZN Philharmonic perform in concert together at
the Linder Auditorium on Wits Parktown Campus on October 28 and 29 at 20h00. Booking
