(Guest conductor
Daniel Boico)
The Summer Season of the 2016 World Symphony Series comes to
a close on March 31, with a concert of symphonic giants, which will be held at
The Playhouse Opera. KZN Philharmonic associate guest conductor Daniel Boico
returns to lead the orchestra on this epic night of music-making. The concert
begins with Rimsky-Korsakov's arrangement of music from Modest Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain.
Israeli concert pianist Daniel Gortler makes his South
African debut with the KZN Philharmonic performing Beethoven’s first piano
concerto. The concert, and the Summer Season, then close with the colossal
second symphony of Sergei Rachmaninoff. The composer finds a musical language
in this symphony that is completely distinct from his piano writing. By being
unbound the keyboard, the lyrical possibilities of the orchestra are fully
explored in what is a seemingly endless stream of passion-laden melodies and
themes. It is the perfect thrilling end to an amazing series of concerts.
This final concert of the KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic
Orchestra’s Summer Symphony Season will take place in the Playhouse Opera (not
the City Hall which is the normal venue) on March 31 at 19h30.
