Belgrade Philharmonic’s 90th season opening
20/09/2012 @ 20:00 - 22:00
The Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra opens the 2012/2013 season on Thursday, the 20th of September in Kolarac, with a concert from the “New Year Cycle” program.
The Orchestra will be conducted by the permanent guest conductor Alexander Rahbari, with the mezzosoprano Sanja Anastasia as the soloist. The orchestra will perform the first symphonic works of Bernstein and Mahler (Jeremiah and Titan).
By celebrating the Hebrew New Year, the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra continues the tradition of the New Year Cycle concerts. Again, the orchestra will wish a happy New Year five times this season – according to the Jewish, Islamic, Gregorian, Julian and Chinese calendars.
Alexander Rahbari is one of the followers of Hans Swarowsky and former Karajan’s assistant in the Berlin Philharmonic. Already in his first visit to the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra, the charismatic conductor established a distinctive connection with the orchestra, which he described as “young, fresh and motivated”.
Among the New Year concert programs, particulary attractive are the hilarious musical-comedian duo Igudesman and Joo, who will perform for the Julian New Year, as well as the traditional New Year concert program titled Happy Sixties and Seventies, in which the Philharmonic will perform arrangements of the most popular songs by ABBA and The Beatles.
A novelty is that the concerts within this cycle will be held on Thursdays, unlike all other concerts, which are held on Fridays.
Tickets are available at the Kolarac box office.
