The Czech National Symphony Orchestra
Major international orchestras will be performing at the Hippodrome Circus in a second series presented by the Seachange Arts Trust . Anybody who attended the previous round of concerts will remember the fantastic atmosphere at the
Hippodrome, which proved to be such a good venue for these events.
The opening concert will be on November 10th featuring the famous Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra under their conductor Jacek Kaspszyk with soloist Mikhail Rudy in a programme which includes the first Chopin piano concerto and Brahms Symphony Number One.
On February 4th the Czech National Symphony Orchestra will perform two of the most popular classical works, Dvorak’s “New World Symphony” and the Bruch Violin Concerto, with soloist Charlie Siem, a piece which regularly tops the Classic FM charts.
The European Chamber Orchestra will round off the series on April 26th. Piano soloist Freddy Kempf, a regular at the King’s Lynn Festival where he is a patron, will play the Piano Concerto Number 14. The programme, conducted by Matthias Wollong, will also include Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and Barber’s Adagio for Strings, both works which ride high in the classical charts.
The extra concert is a piano recital which will be given by Russian Nikolai Demidenko on the afternoon of Sunday March 21st featuring works by Beethoven and Chopin. The other concerts will all be in the evening.
