Having impressed audiences and critics in multiple concert halls over the years, the South-Ural Symphony Orchestra will now be taking to the stage in Dubai, in a concert organized by SAMIT Event Group and CMDI Group, with the kind support of the European Foundation for Support of Culture (EUFSC). Led by the acclaimed Italian conductor Gianluca Marciano, the orchestra shall be collaborating with Gold medallist of the Fifteenth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition and multiple First Prize Winner at numerous other international competitions, South Korean pianist Yekwon Sunwoo to present a program of seminal favorites. Opening with the ‘Overture’ of Giuseppe Verdi’s I vespri siciliani, the orchestra and Sunwoo shall then perform contemporary composer Alexey Shor’s Childhood Memories, a concerto in 9 nostalgic movements which loosely trace the path from early childhood until the cusp of early adulthood. Finally, after a brief intermission, the orchestra shall return to send the audience off with an interpretation of Antonín Dvořák’s famed Symphony No. 9 “From the New World”, which has delighted concert-goers for more than 100 years ever since its premiere in New York City on 16 December 1893.
