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).

UFS Department of Music presents: Haydn Trio Eisenstadt

UFS Department of Music presents
Haydn Trio Eisenstadt
Wednesday, 13 May 2009
Odeion
19:30

The Haydn Trio Eisenstadt, founded in 1992, is one of Austria’s leading chamber music ensembles. A full concert schedule together with a large number of CD recordings is proof of the Trio’s outstanding reputation.  The Trio is focussing to a large extent on the "Haydn Year 2009", the bicentenary of Haydn’s death. The three musicians have been preparing themselves for this date ever since the ensemble was founded in 1992, and during 2009 they will travel the whole world as musical ambassadors of Joseph Haydn’s home region.

The musicians received instruction in the chamber music class of the Vienna Academy of Music under Georg Ebert, and took part in master classes given by the Trio di Trieste. In 1994, the renowned Accademia Chigiana in Siena, bestowed on the Haydn Trio Eisenstadt the Honorary Diploma for the best piano trio and an award for the best foreign contribution of the entire festival. This distinction led to their being admitted to the Scuola Internazionale di Musica da Camera del Trio di Trieste, which the ensemble attended for two years.

In addition to regular concerts all over Austria, the Haydn Trio Eisenstadt is often on tour abroad.  Concerts have taken them to Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, England, Scotland, Ireland, Switzerland, Denmark, Hungary, Turkey, Russia, Israel, Japan and the USA.

Since 2002 the Haydn Trio Eisenstadt cooperates with the highly esteemed Scottish singers Lorna Anderson (soprano) and Jamie MacDougall (tenor) in the first ever presentation of all 429 folksong arrangements composed by Haydn, both in live concerts and on CDs.

In May 2008, the ensemble completed its large-scale project of recording Joseph Haydn’s complete piano chamber music oeuvre - all 39 piano trios, all 429 Scottish Songs and all Divertimenti and Concertini (28 CDs).  Another large-scale project, the worldwide composition project entitled D2H - Dedicated to Haydn, has been devised by the Trio’s pianist, Harald Kosik, for 2009.  Taking as its motto Joseph Haydn’s famous saying “The whole world understands my language”, 6 Austrian composers, 6 composers from other European countries and 6 composers from all other continents have been invited to compose a piano trio “dedicated to Haydn” for the bicentenary.  During this concert, the trio by Bongani Ndodana-Breen will be performed.

Program:
Joseph Haydn - Piano Trio in E flat major Hob. XV/29
Bongani Ndodana-Breen - Piano Trio – Dedication to Haydn
Joseph Haydn - Piano Trio in C major Hob.XV/27
Franz Schubert - Piano Trio in E flat major
