(Daniel Boico)
The KZN Philharmonic Orchestra’s 2018 Summer Season has
concerts in the Playhouse Opera every Thursday at 19h30 from February 22 until March
15.
For its 2018 opening concert on February 22, 2018, the KZN Philharmonic
welcomes the return of its Associate Guest Conductor, the dynamic
Israeli-American, Daniel Boico, with a programme of three concert
block-busters.
Maestro Boico opens his programme exploring the high drama
of Frantz Liszt’s famed symphonic poem, Les
Préludes, before being joined onstage by the acclaimed young Ukraine-born
pianist, Anna Dmytrenko, for a performance of Saint-Saëns’s dazzling Piano
Concerto No 2 in G minor.
Boico brings the evening to a close, delivering a powerful
reading of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 in F minor. Often referred to as the
late romantic Russian composer’s ‘Fate symphony’, it bears fascinating
synergistic aspirations to Beethoven’s Fifth, as can be heard in the similar
device of the four-note motif which opens Beethoven's Fifth and the fanfare at
the outset of Tchaikovsky's Fourth.
