CYPRUS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
STARLIGHT 4

Τhe Cyprus Symphony Orchestra is honoured to share the stage in this programme with the charismatic, world-class maestro Carlos Kalmar. During his vast career, Carlos Kalmar has held the position of Music Director of the Oregon Philharmonic for eighteen years and has conducted the most celebrated symphony orchestras of the US, such as the Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Boston and San Francisco. Under Kalmar’s rigorous conducting and the CySO, the audience will enjoy two romantic works written at the end of the 19th century.

Τhe programme will open with Antonín Dvořák’s (1841–1904) wondrous Symphony no. 9, known as the symphony “of the New World”, which he complete in 1893, a year after his arrival in the United States. Intrigued with the folk idioms of America, Dvořák embodied the peculiarities of Negro and Indian music in the themes of this symphony.

Next, Carlos Kalmar will conduct The Overture and the Polovtsian March from Alexander Borodin’s (1833–1887) exotic opera Prince Igor. Infused with Russian folk song idioms and “oriental” melodies, Borodin didn’t manage to complete this grandiose opera. The Polovtsian March – which signifies the triumphal return of the Polovtsian army – was completed by Borodin and orchestrated by Rimsky-Korsakov.
