The Auckland Philharmonia announces an artist change to its upcoming concert, Bayleys Great Classics: Romantic Journeys, on Thursday 21 November 2024.
Described as "one of the finest among the astonishing gallery of young virtuoso cellists" by Gramophone magazine, German Canadian cellist, Johannes Moser will make a welcome return to the Auckland Town Hall stage. He will step in as the replacement soloist to perform Tchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations. This will be Moser’s only Aotearoa performance in a tour that includes concerts at the Sydney Opera House with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
The Bayleys Great Classics: Romantic Journeys programme also includes Schumann’s sunniest symphony, Symphony No.3. Also known as the ‘Rhenish’, this buoyant piece was inspired by the beautiful rivers and cathedrals that Schumann experienced when he took an idyllic three-month holiday with his wife Clara to the Rhineland in Germany
Johannes Moser replaces the previously advertised, Edgar Moreau, who has withdrawn from the concert for personal reasons. The concert title and music programme are unchanged.
