KZNPO SPRING SYMPHONY SEASON

Bongani Tembe, CEO and Artistic Director of the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra, is pleased to announce the upcoming Spring Symphony Season, featuring an exciting programme of not-to-be-missed performances.

Daniel Boico takes the podium on October 6, followed by acclaimed Polish conductor Michał Dworzyński. German conductor Justus Frantz makes one of his many return appearances to the KZN Philharmonic stage for the third concert of the Season, and Noam Aviel commands the podium for the finale.

The soloist guest roster features highly-accomplished South African pianist Nina Schumann; the London-based Australian pianist Jayson Gillham, and two dazzling young Latvian virtuosos: violinist Kristine Balanas and cellist Maja Bogdanović.

Each evening's musical offerings are included below and the full brochure will be released in the next few days.

Discounted rates on season tickets are once again available to loyal subscribers, who may also enjoy preferred seating. Season tickets are only available through the KZNPO offices on marketing@kznphil.org.za or 031 369 9438.

Single tickets may also be purchased from the KZNPO now, and will be available online via Quicket in the next week.

“Your safety is of paramount importance to us,” adds Bongani Tembe. “Our security team will be stationed around the Playhouse / parking precinct, and all COVID protocols will be strictly followed.

“Here’s to sharing a wealth of superb music-making with you all!”

All concerts will take place in the Playhouse Opera and the starting time is 19h00.
