Amalgamation

UPSO and PSO in concert

This concert amalgamates two of Pretoria’s leading and only symphony orchestras. By working together, the scope of artistic choices with regard to repertoire and orchestra capacity grows significantly. Not only does this provide the instrumentalists in the orchestra with opportunities to approach compositions that would have been inaccessible, but also brings the listener closer to works that are rarely performed on home turf. The University of Pretoria Symphony Orchestra and the Pretoria Symphony Orchestra welcome you to our first amalgamated concert and hope that this will become an established tradition.

Programme:

1. L. v. Beethoven, Egmont Overture Op, 87


2. D. Shostakovich, Suite for Variety Orchestra


3. C. Franck, Symphony in D minor

Audiences may experience the same concert twice hosted by the Principal conductors of each orchestra on different days as follows:

Jaco van Staden – 27 May

Schalk van der Merwe – 29 May
