Shlomo Mintz as orchestra soloist --CONTRIBUTED
World-acclaimed violinist Shlomo Mintz will make his Philippine debut Sept. 27, 7:30 p.m. as soloist of the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra (PPO) under the baton of music director Gregorz Novak.
The concert at the Samsung Theater for Performing Arts in Makati City will feature him as soloist in the Bruch Concerto which he has earlier recorded with the Chicago Symphony under Claudio Abbado.
“I met Maestro Novak in a famous cruise ship where famous international musicians perform. He also conducted me in my first performance of Bartok’s Violin Concerto No. 2 in Copenhagen. I’m very much looking forward to our renewed relationship and sharing music on stage with Maestro Novak!” Mintz said.
