LOVERS of Tchaikovsky are in for a treat at an upcoming concert which will be conducted by Canterbury’s Panagiotis Karamanos who plays nine instruments and aspires one day to play all the instruments of the orchestra.
The performance will include Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky’s iconic Piano Concerto, played by the award-winning classical pianist, scholar, and recording artist, Nicholas Kennedy.
Alongside this masterpiece, the orchestra will be playing the Swan Lake Suite, another famous work of the Russian composer.
The concert will take place this Saturday, November 25, in the Verbruggen Hall, Sydney Conservatorium of Music, which is very familiar to Mr Karamanos as he had studied there for many years.
He described “Swan Lake” as a “highly romantic piece of music” that incorporates all aspects of the orchestra.
“Tchaikovsky is well known for how he utilises the entire orchestra in wonderful ways to create beautiful orchestral sounds and colours,” the 27-year-old conductor said.
Mr Karamanos will be performing the concert with Modést Orchestra, which he founded in 2015 while still at university as a means of holding a performance with Greek orchestral music at the Conservatorium.
