Celebration Of Lyrical Music

Celebration Of Lyrical Music

Date: 2014-05-30
Next week's KZN Philharmonic symphony concert showcases a range of successful South African soloists and two of Durban's leading choirs in performance with the full Orchestra.

The programme brings together a sensitive combination of lyricism, spirituality and classics in a variety of short pieces. From Mozart to Liszt, across the Atlantic to Copland and back to Schubert's Mass No 2, the evening will be filled with drama and beauty.

Celebrating his 25th anniversary of performing with the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra, renowned pianist Christopher Duigan joins the Orchestra with his interpretation of Concert-Rondo in A major by Mozart.

On the podium will be Daniel Walshaw, a model 21st century interdisciplinary musician. From performance and production to scholarship and composition, Daniel has had many successes in every aspect of the performing arts. He currently manages artistic production and new music for the Orchestra, as well as leading the orchestra library. He is married to the KZN Philharmonic's concert master, highly talented violinist Joanna Frankel.

The concert closes with an aura of heavenly beauty evoked by Schubert's Mass No 2 in G major. Members of the Clermont Community Choir and the Durban Symphony Choir, along with three well-loved South African soloists - Nozuko Teto (soprano), Wayne Mkhize (tenor) and Mthunzi Nokubeka (baritone) - will accompany the Orchestra as Schubert delicately weaves the Mass text through his deeply poetic musical language.

This is an evening not to be missed!
