Exceptional symphony tonight
2009-02-05
THOSE who particularly enjoy music for string instruments and orchestra can look forward to an exceptional symphony concert tonight, when the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra (COP) performs at the City Hall under the orchestra’s principal guest conductor, Owain Arwel Hughes. The programme consisting of three well-known works by popular composers starts with Dvorák’s Symphonic Variations, Op.78. Thereafter the soloists are the award-winning Hungarian violinists Barnabás Kelemen and his equally talented wife Katalin Kokas (viola). Together they play Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra, and to conclude the concert, Keleman also performs Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64. The performance of the popular violin concerto by Felix Mendelssohn marks the first of a number of works that will be included in the 2009 symphony concert programmes of the COP to commemorate the composer’s birth 200 years ago (1809). Ticket prices are R110, R130 and R150 (R60 unreserved platform seats and students and pensioners R60 half an hour before the start of concert, if available. The concert starts at 20:15)). Booking is at Computicket or Artscape Dial-a-Seat (021- 421-7695).
