Fantastic!

Győr Philharmonic Orchestra awaits patrons with two „fantastic” concerts on March 7 and 8, 2014, presented as part of the Artur Nikish and the János Sándor Season Ticket Series.

Both concerts are to begin with W. A. Mozart’s famous „small” G minor symphony composed in 1773 while the program will be rounded up by the work which is the reason the project has actually been dubbed „fantastic”for, the monumental „Symphony Fantastique” from 1830 by French Hector Berlioz. This grand piece of five movements was premiered in Paris and it basically expresses a lovelorn artist’s disappointment in love with scintillatingly vivid imagination.
Between the two well-known pieces of music there is a Hungarian viola concerto selected into the March 7 program written in the early 1950’s by Kossuth-prize winning composer Gyula Dávid and it will be performed by Sándor Nagy who had been fortunate enough at the time to have received first-hand instructions regarding the details of the work from the composer himself. The frameworks of the March 8 program are to be the same with only the concerto being different. That evening Felix Mendelssohn’s violin concerto in D minor will be wedged between the two symphonies.
Chinese-Austrian soloist Lui Chan is already known to our Győr audience because of his previous appearances here. He has performed on many of the world’s stages and is admittedly particularly fond of our city’s orchestra.
Both concerts will be conducted by Győr Philharmonic Orchestra’s Liszt-prize winning artistic director Kálmán Berkes. 
We look forward to your presence at these „fantastic”nights!
