MUSICAL HEMISPHERS UNITE IN JOHANNESBURG INTERNATIONAL MOZART FESTIVAL (JHB)

With just under 20 concerts and recitals on the programme, drawing together some of South Africa and the world’s top classical musicians under the banner of Musical Hemispheres, the 2010 Johannesburg International Mozart Festival promises to once again be a highlight on the national music calendar. This year’s Festival will run from 23 January – 9 February 2010 in various Johannesburg venues.

The Festival opens on Saturday 23 January in the Linder Auditorium at 20:00 with the first of four full-scale symphony concerts. Lone Madison (clarinet) joins the Johannesburg Festival Orchestra, conducted by Richard Cock, for Mozart’s Overture from Abduction from the Seraglio and Clarinet Concerto in A major. They will also perform Symphony No. 9 in E minor (“From the New World") by Dvorak.

The Johannesburg International Mozart Festival provides a unique combination of classical performances on the highest international level with a keenly intelligent and creative approach to programming, together with an enterprising portfolio of all-encompassing education and outreach projects for children, students and audiences from all corners of society.
