Anyone who is musically open might be interested in the cross-over concert, which will take place on Tuesday, November 26th at 8 p.m. in the Kleines Haus Theater. “From Vivaldi to Deep Purple” is the title of the concert, which is also intended to reflect the program.
The pianist Christoph Soldan will perform with the Silesian Chamber Soloists, which consists of Katowice Dariusz Zboch and Jacub Lysik on violin, Joroslaw Marzec on viola, Katarzyna Biedrowska on cello and David Lewandowsky on double bass, according to the announcement. Their program that evening includes the overture to “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and the String Quintet in F Major (based on the String Quartet in F Major) by Maurice Ravel as well as arrangements of hits from the 1960s and 1970s Songs by Queen, Procul Harum, The Doors, Esa Einai, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple.
Christoph Soldan studied with Eliza Hansen and Christoph Eschenbach at the Hamburg University of Music. A tour with the legendary Leonard Bernstein was his breakthrough for his international concert activities around the world. He moves beyond the usual and organizes, among other things, reading concerts, concerts for children and concerts at special locations and with programs with special artistic demands.
According to the announcement, the section leaders of the Silesian Chamber Philharmonic Katowice have come together in the ensemble of Silesian Chamber Soloists. All musicians are excellent instrumentalists who were trained at various universities in Poland and Germany. The ensemble quickly became the leading chamber music ensemble in its homeland of Upper Silesia due to its high artistic level.
Tickets are still available for the cross-over concert.
