KZNPO 2025 SPRING SEASON CONCERT #2

 


The second and final concert of the KZN Philharmonic’s 2025 World Symphony Spring Season takes place in The Playhouse Opera on Thursday November 13, starting at 19h00.

Grammy Award-winning conductor Michael Repper makes his KZN Philharmonic debut on November 13 with a programme of English, Austrian and German classics spanning the late 18th and 19th centuries – curated to afford the audience an evening of contrasting musical adventures.  Maestro Repper opens with Elgar’s idyllic Serenade for Strings.

Haydn's joyous D major Cello Concerto heralds the debut appearance of the acclaimed Norwegian cellist Sandra Lied Haga. Her interpretation is eagerly awaited as she puts her stamp on its wealth of melodies and bravura passages. The evening climaxes in high spirits with the youthful vigour and optimism of the teenage Felix ebullient Mendelssohn's First Symphony.

There are park and bus options for patrons who would prefer not to self-drive to the concerts. There are routes from Upper Highway, St Agnes (depart 17h50); North Coast, Grace Family Church (depart 18h10); Westville Senior Primary (depart 18h10) and Berea Caister Lodge (depart 18h20). Book through the KZN Phil offices before 16h00 Monday before each concert.
