Kazakh Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra / Lara St John, violin / Bekturgan Zholaman, clarinet / Erbolat Akhmedyarov, conductor
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.
