Die Seejungfrau (The Mermaid) (Featuring Conductor Kazuki Yamada In Collaboration
with Trumpeter Pacho Flores)
THE MPO
COLLABORATES WITH TRUMPETER PACHO FLORES
AT
DEWAN FILHARMONIK PETRONAS!
Kuala Lumpur, March
2016 – Take
note, all music lovers! The Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) will present
great masterpieces in concerts scheduled on Friday, 4 March 2016 and Saturday, 5
March 2016 at 8.30 p.m. at Dewan
Filharmonik PETRONAS (DFP), KLCC.
Under
the baton of Japanese conductor Kazuki
Yamada, the MPO will mesmerize its audience with Brahms’ Serenade No.2 in
A, a relaxed and intimate world of genial sentiments and warm sonorities, first
performed in 1860 by the Hamburg Philharmonic.
Zemlinsky’s Die Seejungfrau (The Mermaid) was based by Han
Christian Andersen’s fairytale ‘The Little Mermaid’, one of the popular 170
stories from a collection that ranks among the finest achievements in world literature.
It
is a story of an aquatic creature who longs to acquire a human soul. Her bronze
statue, perched on a rock in Copenhagen’s waterfront, has become Denmark’s best
known icon.
Haydn’s Trumpet
Concerto in E flat,
written in 1796 as a vehicle for a Viennese trumpeter is also included in the
repertoire list, providing greater freedom in melodic writing for this
instrument.
For
this work, the MPO will collaborate with trumpeter Pacho Flores who is a first-prize winner at prestigious
international competitions.
Well
known for his outstanding performances and recordings that span all music
genres, he has appeared with Osaka Philharmonic, Venezuelan Simon Bolivar Brass
Quintet, and the Miami and Tokyo Symphonies. Among the luminaries that he has
performed with include Seiji Ozawa, Claudio Abbado, Sir Simon Rattle and Rafael
Fruhbeck de Burgos.
Flores
will next present an eclectic recital on Sunday, 6 March 2016 at 3.00 p.m.,
embracing music by ten composers from five countries such as Belgian Charlier,
Spanish Pedro, Russian Goedicke, Uruguayan Crespo and Venezuelan Baez, among
others.
Be
caught up in rapture with the MPO and Pacho Flores, only at DFP!
