NEXT CONCERT PERFORMANCES:
After the 2023/24 concert season was marked by the anniversary years of the composers František Hertl and Johannes Brahms, the 2024/25 concert season will continue to honour the life and work of these two composers with performances by Božo Paradžik as soloist with orchestra. The key dates of the concerts already confirmed:
THURSDAY 27 MARCH 2025
BURSA (TUR), Atatürk Kongre Kültür Merkezi
Performance with the Bursa State Symphony Orchestra
Soloist: Božo Paradžik, double bass
Conductor: Tolga Taviş
In the programme: František Hertl, Concerto for double bass and orchestra
First performance of the excellent, yet very rarely played Hertl concerto with high C tuning. Surprisingly, the work has proven to be fully compatible with the super-clear sounding tuning and will be performed in this concert for the first time ever that way.
