Symphony Concert
2018-08-18

Presented by the FSSO in collaboration with the OSM

Conductor: Daniel Boico
Soloist: Alissa Margulis (violin)

Saturday, 18 August 2018
Odeion
19:30

The Free State Symphony Orchestra and the OSM invites you to the third symphony concert of the year featuring international guests Daniel Boico (conductor) and the graceful Alissa Margulis (violinist). The long-awaited symphony will take place August 18, 2018 at 19:30 in the Odeion. This concert is presented in collaboration with the Odeion School of Music.

Due to circumstances beyond control, the promised Violin Concerto in D minor by Beethoven was replaced by the gloriously lyrical Violin Concerto in G minor by Bruch. The powerful and dramatic Egmont Overture by Beethoven and Schubert’s Symphony No 6 in C, will round off the programme.

Daniel Boico was born in Israel to musician parents and raised in both Paris and the US, as his father Fima Boico, was concertmaster of Orchestra de Paris and the second violinist of the Fine Arts Quartet. Boico was initially trained as a singer before joining the class of legendary Russian conducting professor Ilya Musin at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory, Russia. He has extensive experience in music administration, planning and programming, having worked as Manager of Artistic Administration of the New York Philharmonic and as executive assistant to Daniel Barenboim at the Chicago Symphony and West-Eastern Divan Orchestra as well as for Chicago Symphony.

Alissa Margulis was born in Freiburg (Germany), into a family of Russian musicians. At the age of four, she started to learn the violin and the piano with Prof. Wolfgang Marschner. She made her first public appearance at the age of seven with the Budapest Soloists. At the age of ten, she won the first prize at the Spohr Youth Competition and at the German national competition Jugend Musiziert within the same year. She is a regular guest at international classical music festivals, and a privileged chamber music player who performs with a Guadagnini Violin dated 1754, a private loan from Jonathan Moulds.

Alissa is an accomplished musician with numerous awards like the Pro Europa Prize awarded by Daniel Barenboim (Berlin, 2002) and the Nouveau Laureat du Festival Juventus (Cambrai, 2004).

It is with great regret that we have to inform all concert-goers that Petronel Malan will unfortunately not be able to undertake her upcoming concert tour to South Africa.

Petronel has been diagnosed with rheumatic fever just a few days ago. She may under no circumstances travel or perform.

We were however very fortunate that the brilliant young and upcoming concert pianist, Jan Hugo, was available and agreed on short notice to perform in the Odeion on the same date. Thus, concert-goers may use their Petronel Malan tickets to attend the concert by Jan Hugo. Concert-goers may however, if they choose to not go to the Jan Hugo concert, collect a refund at any Compiticket outlet before the concert.

Jan Hugo recently, in July 2011, won the UNISA National Piano Competition. He was born in Bloemfontein and at the age of 11 years he participated in the International Competition for Pianists “Virtuosi per Musica” in Usti nad Labem (Czech Republic) and at 12 year he won the Musicon Senior Primary Piano Competition (Bloemfontein) as well as the Sanlam Music Competition (Cape Town). At the age of 15 years, he won the category “Soloists 18 years old” in the International Piano Competition “Carlo Soliva” in Casale Monferrato (Italy).

At the young age of 13 years he was invited to further his studies in Italy at the Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicali “Vecchi-Tonelli” in Modena. In 2006 he was admitted for a Master’s Diploma in Piano Performance at the Accademia Pianistica Internazionale “Incontri col Maestro” (Imola) where he currently studies with Franco Scala and Boris Petrushansky

In the 2007/8 academic year he was accepted to study for a B.Mus. degree at the Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicale “Vecchi-Tonelli”a and in 2011 he received his degree (cum laude).

Jan has participated in various master classes with internationally acclaimed professors and pianists such as Michel Dalberto, Robert Levin, Jin Ju, Riccardo Risaliti, David Ascanio, Ada, Wodnicki and Joseph Stanford.
