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).

Gloria Campaner piano recital

Pianist Gloria Campaner (born in Venetia) is regarded by critics and public alike as one of the most interesting young pianists of the Italian new generation. Since her debut on stage at the age of twelve with the Venetian Symphony Orchestra, Gloria has been the first-prize recipient in more than twenty national and international piano competitions. Her rapidly advancing career as a soloist and chamber musician has led her to be a guest of some of the most prestigious festivals all over the world and the press have praised her ‘extremely deep musicality, remarkable fluidity, nuancing and sense of style which put her in the ranks of pianists with exceptional qualities’ (Walter Arlen, Los Angeles Times).

 

Gloria is a laureate of many competitions, and is also the 1st prize-winner and ‘Prokofiev Special Award’ recipient in the 2009 Ibla Grand Prize after which she made her US and Carnegie Hall débuts (2010).  In addition, Gloria has received scholarships from the Brahms Foundation (Baden-Baden, 2009) and has been awarded a Fellowship of the Borletti-Buitoni Trust (2014).

 

She earned her MMus with Bruno Mezzena (Music Academy, Pescara) and has performed in masterclasses with such distinguished musicians as Jerome Rose, Sergio Perticaroli, Pavel Gililov, Lilya Zilberstein, Dmitri Bashkirov, and Boris Petrushansky. Laterally, she focussed her studies on the Russian school under the guidance of Konstantin Bogino, while completing her studies at the Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe with Prof. Fany Solter.

 

Her debut CD of solo piano works by Schumann and Rachmaninov was released (EMI) in 2013, followed by an orchestral debut CD with Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 2 (2015).

 

In October 2009, Gloria was named 2010 - 2011 ‘European Ambassador for Culture’ as part of the cultural programme ‘Piano, Reflet de la Culture Europèenne’. 

 

As an official Steinway & Sons Artist Gloria has performed in the majority of the Steinway Halls around the world, including New York, London and Hamburg.
