Maestro Daniel Boico returns to the rostrum to open the
Winter Season with Qinisela Sibisi's Umnkenenezo
(Serenade). The multi-award-winning Russian pianist Andrey Gugnin then takes
centre stage in Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 1, which was conceived as a
vehicle for the composer's dazzling pianistic skill. Dvořák's Symphony No. 7 is
the finale for concert 1, a work of “greater dramatic power, deeper emotional
feeling, and a breadth of vision unparalleled in anything else Dvořák had
previously composed”.
Following a curtain-raiser appearance by the KZN Youth
Orchestra, internationally-acclaimed Conrad van Alphen takes the KZN
Philharmonic podium for the second and final concert of the season. Plunging
into the heart of the programme, the celebrated Russian violinist Andrey
Baranov steps into the solo spot to put his stamp on Édouard Lalo’s virtuosic
Symphonie Espagnole. Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony, in all its serenity, peaceful
contentment, and untroubled enjoyment of nature, brings the evening - and the
Winter Season - to a close.
This season’s repertoire is lovingly geared to bring audiences hours of fulfilment, and your support is deeply appreciated. All details may be found in the brochure, available for download here.
Single tickets may be purchased through Quicket for Concert 1 and Concert 2.
Looking forward to making music together at our Winter Season concerts!
