(Daniel Boico)
The KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic Orchestra is about to launch
its four week 2018 Winter Season to run in the Playhouse Opera Theatre, each
Thursday, between June 7 and 28, 2018, starting at 19h30 as part of the
Orchestra’s renowned World Symphony Series (WSS) which was launched in Durban
22 years ago.
Associated Guest Conductor Daniel Boico launches the Winter
Season on June 7 with Beethoven’s powerful Egmont Overture. Written to
accompany a performance of Goethe’s drama of the same title, it is one of the
last works of the composer’s middle period, similar in style to the Fifth
Symphony which predated it by two years. A superb showcase for award-winning
Italian virtuoso, Antonio Pompa-Baldi, the statuesque grandeur of Beethoven’s
Piano Concerto No 3 in C minor promises to be an exciting centrepiece to the
evening’s programme, which concludes with a performance of the Symphony No 1 by
the Russian composer, Alexander Borodin.
The concert takes place on June 7 at 17h30 in the Playhouse
Opera. Season tickets and booking for individual concerts in KZN Philharmonic’s
