Under renowned conductor Ajith Abeysekera, the annual Young Musicians’ Concert presented by the Symphony Orchestra of Sri Lanka (SOSL) will be held at the Ladies’ College Hall on 23rd July at 7.00 pm.
Partnered by HSBC for the 21st consecutive year, the four promising young musicians being featured are pianists Eshan Denipitiya and Shannon Jacob with soloists Shehara Liyanage and Dinushka Jayawickreme, two frontline singers from the award winning all-female choir, Soul Sounds.
Conceptualised on the objective of birthing a platform to showcase the talent and skill of Sri Lanka’s aspiring young musicians, the repertoire will begin with one of Franz Schubert’s finest orchestral pieces, the Overture to Rosamunde, which has been described as brimming with warm heartedness and good humour.
The two soloists will combine for the Flower Duet, telling tales of the title character Lakme, the daughter of a Brahmin priest and her maid Mallika who gather flowers by a river. This is undoubtedly one of the most poignant pieces in the Opera Lakme and showcases the depth of these soprano voices, remarkably.
