Musika is pleased and honoured to welcome once again the Kazakh Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra, for a new European Tour, which includes Ireland, England and Italy, in October 2018.
Since its establishment in 1935, the Kazakh State Philharmonic has been producing some of the finest musicians in Kazakhstan. The Philharmonic’s Chamber Orchestra has made great strides to win wide acclaim both domestically and internationally. And it is my great pleasure to present to British and Irish audiences this brilliant assemblage of extraordinary musical talents from Kazakhstan.
On the tour, the Kazakh Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra will be joined by Lara St. John – a globally-renowned violinist from Canada as well as Alession Pianelli, the new Italian wonder of the cello.
This tour continues to celebrating 25 years of diplomatic relations with Kazakhstan and launches a new project, Modern Kazakh Culture in a Global World.
Enjoy a wonderful evening when, for the first time ever, a Kazakh orchestra performs in Ireland to celebrate 25 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The concert will be the first on a tour which will see the orchestra perform in Dublin, London and Manchester; the visit launches a new project, Modern Kazakh Culture in a Global World.
The Kazakh Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra is one of the best established ensembles of Kazakhstan.
Joined by famous Canadian violinist Lara St. John and multi-award winning Kazakh clarinettist Berturgan Jolaman, the Orchestra will perform an exciting programme which includes two short works by 19 century Kazakh traditional/folk composers. This is the first time for either of these works to be performed here. Also on the programme is the ever popular ‘Four Seasons’ by Vivaldi.
The violin soloist in the Four Seasons, Lara St. John, has been described as « something of a phenomenon » by The Strad and a “high-powered soloist” by the New York Times.
