UP Symphony Orchestras Present:

UPSO Gala Concert 2024

Join us for a delightful afternoon as the University of Pretoria Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Winds conclude their 2024 season. Under the direction of conductor Schalk van der Merwe, this concert features a powerful new work, beloved ballet music, and a masterful concerto performance.

The programme opens with The Light We Cast by M. Pege, a commissioned piece reflecting upon global challenges before inspiring hope for a brighter future. Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake Suite follows, bringing the timeless magic of this cherished ballet to life. Finally, Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2 will be performed by Tessa Rhoodie, lecturer in the University’s Music Department, showcasing her remarkable artistry.

We conclude the programme with a delightful cheese and wine spread in the amphitheatre accompanied by our beloved Symphonic Wind Orchestra on the outdoor stage.

Celebrate the power of music to uplift and inspire as we close out the 2024 season
