KZN Philharmonic: 40 years of music making. Sumptuous programme for the third KZN Philharmonic Spring Season Concert to take place in the Playhouse Opera on November 2, 2023, at 19h00.
The KZN Philharmonic Orchestra performs a sumptuous programme of Schubert, Beethoven and Bruch for the third concert of their 2023 Spring Symphony Season, taking place as part of the orchestra’s 40th Anniversary, on November 2 at 19h00.
Associate Guest Conductor, Cape Town-based Daniel Boico returns to the podium on November 2 with a crowd-pleasing line-up. Schubert’s joyous Rosamunde Overture and Max Bruch’s hyper-melodic Symphony No 3 bookend Beethoven’s grandly imposing Piano Concerto in c minor, performed by Russia’s internationally-acclaimed master-pianist and composer, Nikita Mndoyants.
The Pianist magazine gave a wonderful accolade to Mndoyants. “...There comes a time when a rising talent comes onto the scene so polished that there isn’t much to say other than to simply applaud it.” The magazine went on to say: “...Mndoyants also showed in his Beethoven performance that he could become one of the leading Beethoven interpreters.”
Bongani Tembe, KZN Philharmonic’s Chief Executive and Artistic Director, says: “We are overjoyed to join hands once again with our special family of music lovers for Concert 3 of our four-concert Spring Symphony Season. We are delighted to welcome back our Guest Resident Conductor, Daniel Boico together with talented pianist Nikita Mndoyants. who will join our dedicated orchestral musicians in bringing our audiences many hours of sheer musical magic. The season dovetails with our ongoing work in the spheres of community engagement and skills transfer among new-generation artists and learners.”
