Philippine Philharmonic
18 May 19:30
Founded in 1973, the Philippine Philharmonic were one of the first Asian orchestras to receive international recognition and are now regarded as one of the finest of all orchestras coming from Southeast Asia.
We are delighted to present them, with their award-winning conductor Grzegorz Nowak in an exciting and colourful programme that features some of the greatest classics of the operatic and balletic repertoire. It will also be interesting to hear the orchestra’s interpretation of Vaughan Williams’ ever popular Lark Ascending and a performance of Tchaikovsky’s much loved Rococo Variations with internationally acclaimed cellist Wen-Sinn Yang.
In the second half of the concert we have suites from Bizet’s romantic opera Carmen and Tchaikovsky’s adored ballet Swan Lake – we will also look forward to some of Wagner’s greatest ever music in his Prelude & Liebestod from Tristan & Isolde.
We expect the Philippine Philharmonic programme will be one of the most popular in our season, so book early to avoid disappointment.
