VASKO VASSILEV &NOSOLOCLASICA ORCHESTRA
A walk through different classics of music for violin and orchestra, this time covered with ethnic instruments by the prestigious violinist Vasko Vassilev and directed by Miguel A. Navarro. A concert with sound, different, participatory and with several surprises, which aims to bring classical music closer to a younger audience and will delight all those attending.
We will be able to dance with the strength of Russian music with the Saber Dance, Lezginka or the Dance with Crotalas by A. Kachaturian and also feel the beauty and softness of the Aisha’s Dance by the same composer.
We will listen to Vasko Vassilev in some of the most difficult fragments for the violin like the 3rd mov. from P. Chaikosky’s violin concerto or the 1st mov. of the J. Sibelius concerto in reduced versions and adapted for a younger audience. We will feel the duende of a flamenco version of the Dance Macabre by C. Saint Saens or Entre Dos Aguas by Paco de Lucía.
We will make an incursion into the baroque where we will have the opportunity to enjoy the joy of The Entrance of the Queen of Shaba by GF Haendel in a version for orchestra, trumpet and violin and the calm of the 2nd movement of the Concerto for oboe by B. Marcello, performed by the fabulous trumpeter Vicente Campos together with Vassilev.
And finally, we will end the concert dancing together withColdplay songs arranged for symphony orchestra. All this with sound as in the best movie theaters so that the acoustic language determines the listening of this different concert dedicated to the youngest audience.
