After the September flood and cancellation of the Grieg 100: Piano Concerto, we are still to have culturepool's first foray into the wonderful world of classical music. At least the Phil's latest celebrity signing Vasily Petrenko will be on hand to help us out.
We’re not regular classical goers but we’ve been intrigued by all the excitement that’s surrounded the Philharmonic since the appointment of Vasily Petrenko. Vasily is the youngest person and first Russian to be appointed Principal Conductor at the Phil in its 165 year history and is widely recognised as one of the exceptional musicians of his generation, and he’s also been a real hit with Liverpool.
"He had the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic in his hand, the audience loved him. Prolonged applause, standing ovations, all that. Not the usual Liverpool reaction." Liverpool Daily Post
Which is why we’re so excited that Vasily's agreed to chat to culturepool after the February 21st performance (Fairest Isle: The Planets) and what's more, you'll get a 50% discount on a £25 ticket if you quote 'culturepool'! – see below left for further details on how to book.
And what about the composer Gustav Holst? Holst was a 20th century English composer (1874-1934) and 'The Planets' is his most famous work. The Planets is also the most performed composition by an English composer. The suite itself has seven movements, each named after the following planets: Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
If you've ever been lucky enough to have experienced Liverpool's world class Philharmonic Orchestra, you will know they are the city's real musical stars.
So why not join us and give it a go... |
