The incredible Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra keeps on providing excellent and entertaining classical music programmes.
Tonight at 21:00, at the Museum of Modern Art, the Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra is going to host Dmitry Prokofiev, a young Russian cellist of a more than enviable international career, under the baton of Noam Zur from Israel, who is otherwise a regular guest on Dubrovnik concert stages.
Both the programme and the interpreters are international, offering an unusual schedule of light, entertaining pieces that fit so well into the atmosphere of a cozy evening in early June. Prokofiev, who released his first CD when only 16, is going to show his musical bravura through the demanding pages of the Rococo Variations by P.I. Tchaikovsky. The only full concerto for cello and orchestra Tchaikovsky ever wrote, comes in eight variations of an original theme in a Rococo fashion. Different tempi and some technically demanding sections cover a myriad of moods, from chanting to melancholic, playful and giddy, to serene and deep emotions, imposing quite a complex task upon the player.
The rest of the concert is designed in an optimistic, cheerful tone and, above all, in an out-of-customary concert bill. A good eight overtures by Rossini, Beethoven, Berlioz, Ponchielli, Mascagni, Gounod and J. Strauss Jr. vouch for a cheerful mood of the audience in yet another atmospheric Dubrovnik evening filled with wonderful music, talent and true artistry.
