Dvořák - Carnival Overture
Mendelssohn - Violin Concerto
Beethoven - Symphony No.7

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra returns to Glive with a programme of masterworks by Dvořák, Mendelssohn and Beethoven.

‘I am the new Bacchus, pressing out glorious wine for the human spirit’: Ludwig van Beethoven never pulled his punches, but until you’ve heard his Seventh Symphony in full flight, you’ve never known just how intoxicating music can be. That’s just the climax to a whole concert that highlights some of these composers’ most well-known works.

Before that, British virtuoso violinist Jack Liebeck brings his ‘flawless technical mastery’ and a ‘beguiling silvery tone’ to Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto. One of the foremost violin pieces of the Romantic era, it took Mendelssohn over six years to complete and was the last concerto he composed before his untimely death at the age of 38.

Kevin John Edusei launches the evening with Dvořák’s joyous Carnival Overture, the third a final work in his Nature, Life and Love trilogy; a celebration of the composer’s love for his native land and its majestic landscape.

‘His playing is virtually flawless in its technical ease, scintillating articulateness and purity of tone’ Gramophone on Jack Liebeck

Live reviews

Formed in 1987 The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra it has become so what a national institution. It has managed to build a stellar reputation, not just here in the U.K but across the globe. To date they have manage to light up some of the biggest and most renown venues, with a wonderful array of music. I do believe there is a common misconception when people hear the word orchestra, with many assuming regimented classical music. However, The Royal Philharmonic has gained much of its main stream popularity with their wonderful arrangements of modern pop songs and compositions made famous on the West End stage. The respect they command in music circles is quite incredible, with many superstar musicians often seen working in their projects. They have had numerous collaborations over the years include one with legendary artists Andrea Bocelli, Lesley Garett, Sting and Stevie Wonder.
As a live act they also untouchable, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is the creme de la creme! Made up of array of gifted musicians with so many other thousands of young budding musicians honing their craft, in the hope that one day they maybe able to join one of the most coveted Orchestras of the modern day.
They have had many different tours such as ‘Mancini Rocks the Pops’, ‘Pop Go the Beatles’ and ‘Andrew Lloyd Webber Classics’ as well as many others. Theres is not doubt they have something for everyone!
