Summer Symphonies At The City Hall

ECHOES OF VIENNA

Mozart’s sparkling theatricality leads to the glittering wit of the Strauss dynasty in a programme that is a sumptuous journey through opera, comedy and romance—culminating in the intoxicating elegance of R. Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier Suite.

Arjan Tien is known for his energetic, detailed conducting and is also professor at the Conservatories of Amsterdam and Maastricht and an Extraordinary Associate Professor at Stellenbosch University. François du Toit is one of South Africa’s leading concert pianists, acclaimed for his artistry as a soloist, chamber musician and educator. He has recorded all five Beethoven piano concertos with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra.

There is a pre-concert talk at 18:45 open to concertgoers.
