The Kazakh Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra is one of the best established ensembles of Kazakhstan. This tour will see the orchestra perform in Dublin, London and Manchester and launch a new project called Modern Kazakh Culture in a Global World.

Joined by famous Canadian violinist Lara St. John and multi-award winning Kazakh clarinettist Berturgan Jolaman, the Orchestra will perform an exciting programme which includes two short works by 19 century Kazakh traditional/folk composers. Also on the programme is the ever popular ‘Four Seasons’ by Vivaldi.

The violin soloist in the Four Seasons, Lara St. John, has been described as ‘something of a phenomenon’ by The Strad and a ‘high-powered soloist’ by the New York Times.
