A passionate cello concerto with Kian Soltani
Dvořák's Symphony No. 8
This concert is part of the Symphonic Friday - Large series.
Joy and gentleness are captured in music in Antonín Dvořák's Eighth Symphony. This masterpiece brings out all the imagination in music. From the sunny, Bohemian countryside, you are transported to an elegant ball, where dancers spin, the violins sing and the timpani beat. The orchestra deploys flair and humor, as if playing a comedy about the joys of life.
Our former artist in residence (2018-2019), star cellist Kian Soltani, evokes even more imagination with his performance of Dmitri Kabalevsky's virtuosic Second Cello Concerto. An extraordinary work with a sound world all its own, from the Soviet Union in neoclassical style. Kabalevsky makes the cello a hero who takes on all kinds of challenges, while the orchestra supports or contradicts him. You feel the adrenaline, the fighting spirit and the excitement of adventure. All this is under the able direction of one of our favorite guest conductors: Michal Nesterowicz.
Due to circumstances, Valentina Peleggi is unable to conduct this concert. She will be replaced by Michal Nesterowicz.
