Three concerts of the AUSKO Orchestra under the baton of the American conductor Hobart Earl will take place on February 28, 2018 at the Kraków Philharmonic, March 2 at the Katowice Academy of Music and March 3 at the Wieliczka Salt Mine.
Hobart Earle is an internationally renowned conductor who trained his skills under the guidance of such masters as Leonard Bernstein and Seiji Ozawa. He gives concerts all over the world, from North and South America, through Europe to Asia, performing in famous concert halls, such as Carnegie Hall, Musikverein in Vienna, Barbican in London and working with leading bands. He received many awards for his artistic activity. He is a laureate of Musical America Worldwide and was awarded the title of honorary professor at the Academy of Music in Odessa.
The famous Overture to the opera The Marriage of Figaro by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart will start the spectacular concert conducted by Earl. We will also hear the second Viennese classic – Ludwig van Beethoven with the daring 7th Symphony, which was named by Richard Wagner as "Dance Apotheosis". Beethoven himself spoke about his symphony: "Music is the wine that inspires us to create, I am Bachus, who gives this wonderful wine to make people spiritually drunk".
Concerts in Krakow and Wieliczka will be completed by the Cello Concerto No. 1 by Camill Saint-Saëns, which we will hear in the interpretation of a young, talented and award-winning cellist from Russia (laureate of the Knushevitsky International Cello Competition) – Dali Gutserieva. During the concert in Katowice her brother – pianist Adam Gutseriev, the winner of international competitions, including the International Music Competition "Amigdal" in Italy – will perform Piano Concerto No. 3 by Dmitry Kabalewski.
The concerts are organized by the Gorczycki.pl Association, whose media partner is the Polish Music Information Center POLMIC.
