| Premier musicians head to SA for JPO season |
The Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra's first symphony season for 2010, from Wednesday, 10th February to Thursday, 18th March, offers audiences a varied bouquet of music delights as well as exceptional local and international soloists.
Celebrating its 10th year of existence with a three-year, R36 million funding boost from the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund, the JPO is embarking on the first of its four annual seasons of symphony concerts with renewed vigour.
The concerts are held on Wednesday and Thursday evenings at the Linder Auditorium in Parktown. Joburg music lovers will be captivated by top international conductors as they guide the accomplished musicians of the JPO as well as dynamic young soloists, fresh from the world's premier stages.
Says JPO managing director Shadrack Bokaba: "The first season attempts to strike a balance, both in terms of repertoire and the choice of artists. For example, we move from the familiar when we open the season with the Brahms double concerto, to the completely unknown in week five when we perform Takamitsu's Riverrun concerto.
"The same applies with a choice that includes both local and international soloists - opening the season with locals Gérard Korsten, Pieter Schoeman and Anmari van der Westhuizen, and ending with first-timers in the country such as the brilliant Japanese pianist Noriko Ogawa."
