27 St Andrews Rd, Parktown
The 2018 series sees a host of guest international conductors and musicians taking to the Joburg stage including Canadian-Caribbean conductor Kwamé Ryan, Dutch maestro Arjan Tien, celebrated German violinist Daniel Röhn, Indian-American pianist Pallavi Mahidhara and Britain’s charismatic father-son duo Alexander Baillie (cello) and Max Baillie (violin).
The World Symphony Series summer programme runs as follows:
March 7 & 8: Kwamé Ryan conducts the orchestra through works by Handel, Mozart and Beethoven. The evening opens with Handel’s sprightly sinfonia, The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, followed by Mozart’s dramatic D minor Piano Concerto K466 and concludes with Beethoven’s great Hymn to Nature, his ‘Pastoral’ Symphony.
March 14 & 15: Lykele Temmingh conducts an all-French programme, opening with the Overture to Gabriel Fauré’s 1919 neo-classical Masques et Bergamasques Suite, Debussy’s masterly symphonic poem Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun and Camille Saint-Saëns’s spectacular Symphony no 3 in C minor. In addition the evening sees South African flautist Liesl Stoltz playing two contrasting short works: Cécile Chaminade's decorative one-movement Flute Concertino in D major; and François Borne’s sultry Fantaisie brillante .
March 21 & 22: The season comes to a close with a dramatic programme directed by Dutch conductor Arjan Tien of three contrasting masterpieces: Mozart’s Don Giovanni Overture, Sibelius’s Second Symphony and Brahms’s A minor Concerto for Violin, Cello and Orchestra featuring the evenings soloists Max and Alexander Baillie.
