Japanese violinist returns for seasonal concert
View(s):
The Chamber Music Society rings in the season with its annual Holiday Season concert on December 4 at the Lionel Wendt Theatre at 7.30 p.m.
The concert sponsored by Fairway Holdings will be festive and celebratory, and the CMSC is delighted to welcome back the Japanese violinist Mika Nishimura. Ms. Nishimura gave a well received performance of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, at last year’s December concert. This year, she will treat the audience to her compelling interpretation of Mozart’s Fifth (and last) Violin Concerto, K. 219 and also perform the ever golden’Meditation’ from Massenet’s opera, Thais.
The other pieces will include two by the Hungarian composer BĂ©la Kèler – two very Straussian works, the Lustspiel (Comic) overture, and the Sempre Crescendo Galop. Another will be an American treat – Meacham’s American Patrol March; and a French favourite – Emile Waldteufel’s The Ice Skaters waltz.
The evening will end with carols sung by the St. Benedict’s College choir, who will perform with the CMSC for the first time.
Tickets will be priced between Rs. 2,500 and Rs. 1000, and will be available at the Lionel Wendt.
