From being an introduction to an opera, composers quickly recognised its dramatic potential to make these short orchestral works attractive trailer of all theatrical tension and memorable tunes. These overtures also get you attracted to the sound of the orchestra! In this special programme, Colombian Maestro Andrés Orozco-Estrada will feature some of the best overtures, and together with Bruch’s elegiac Kol Nidrei, which showcases the beauty of the cello by Principal Cello Richard Bamping. 

 

The concert runs 75 minutes approximately, without an intermission.
