Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra
The end of February brings a reinvitation at the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra in two of their orchestral series; promenade concerts and the educational series ‘Muzikaal Verhaal’ (Musical Story).
Promenadeconcerts – Songs & Dances
Central theme of these promenade concerts is ‘Songs and Dances at the court of Mary of Burgundy’. How difficult would it have been at that time, to inspire a full hall to dance, on the low volume range of the aristocratic tones of their medieval lutes and fiddles. A few centuries later, composers like Ravel, Respighi and Britten, re-edited this dance music into a full orchestral sound. It’ll take no time to get the full house moving on their feet ….
Featured soloist in Rodrigo’s Fantasia para un gentilhombre is Chinese virtuosic guitarist Xuefei Yang

Peter helps Rotterdam Zoo “Diergaarde Blijdorp”
This Musical Story, inspired on Prokofjev’s musical tale “Peter and the Wolf”, brings the story of a wolf which escaped from Rotterdam Zoo ‘Diergaarde Blijdorp’. Where did it hide? Somewhere in the orchestra? Together with the children, music theatre group ‘Fort van de Veerbeelding’ will make sure they find the wolf … accompanied by Prokofiev’s music.
Dates
Sunday 1 March at 14:15 & 16:00, Rotterdam (NL), De Doelen
S. Prokofiev: Peter and the wolf, op. 67
