Legacy

Pretoria Symphony Orchestra
Under the baton of esteemed Dutch-born conductor Gerben Grooten, with soloists Christiaan Snyman (bass-baritone) and Natalie Bentley (cello), invites you to a spectacular celebration of the profound legacies left on classical music by some of the greatest composers of all time.

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of harmonic dialogues and light banter in WA Mozart’s Overture to The Magic Flute, a generous helping of sunlight, humour, charm, and serenity in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4, and the poetic musings of shoemaker-poet Hans Sachs in the famous monologue from Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg.

An aria from Richard Strauss’ opera Die Schweigsame Frau and Max Bruch’s exquisite composition for solo cello and orchestra (Kol Nidrei) round off a programme that promises beauty, character, and memorable moments.
