Spring Concert 2008
New Talent for Spring Concert
The Canterbury Orchestra under its new Musical Director, Andrew Lowen, and with its new Leader, Chris Brown, will be giving its Spring Concert on Saturday 26 April at 7.30pm. in St. Peter’s Methodist Church.
The programme will include Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony, Rossini’s Italian Girl in Algiers and Beethoven’s Violin Concerto.
The concert will feature the outstanding young Slovenian soloist, Lana Trotovsek. Lana began playing the violin when she was five and went on to win many top prizes for young musicians in her own country and further afield. She studied at the Academy of Music in her native Ljubljana and has recently been studying as a postgraduate Advance Diploma student at Trinity College London. She was awarded ‘The Friends in New York’ prize and was invited to perform the Khachaturian Violin Concerto with the Belgrade SRT Orchestra in 2007.
