Event information
The Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra's Spring Symphonies at the City Hall will take place on Thursdays in September. Bernhard Gueller, the CPO's principal guest conductor is on the podium for the first three concerts and Robert Maxym is the conductor for the final concert.
In the third concert, Vionlinist Priya Mitchell performs Corigliano Elegy for Orchestra, Beethoven Violin Concerto in D, Op. 61 and Schumann Symphony No. 4 in D minor, Op. 120
Priya Mitchell, whose appearances in the CPO's Franschhoek Chamber Music Festival had audiences on their feet in seconds, is one of the foremost violinists of her generation. This, says The Strad, is due to the "intense high-profile characterisation she gives to each phrase, combined with qualities of colour and vividness, excitement and passion which makes her playing so memorable."
Secure parking on the Grand Parade is provided and additional security with dogs keep a watch out. It's business as usual with a bar and printed programmes but please note only Snapscan or credit cards can be used since no cash is allowed at the City Hall.
