The Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra will be performing at New York’s Carnegie Hall on Saturday 6 February…
The concert will celebrate the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra’s 145th year during Carnegie Hall’s 125th anniversary season. Composer and pianist Malek Jandali will premiere his sinfonietta for chamber orchestra with the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra.
The gala evening will also see Maestro Krešimir Batinić conduct a famous one Croatian work – ‘Idila’ by famous Croatian composer Blagoje Bersa.
It will be the third time in the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra’s 145-year history that they have performed at the prestigious Carnegie Hall. The last time was at the start of the 1980s.
“Performing at Carnegie Hall has always been a matter of prestige and reputation. An impressive list of musicians have performed at this prestigious concert hall since its construction in 1891, and the Zagreb Philharmonic ranks among the biggest. It is an honour to play on the stage on which history was written by world-class performers,” said a statement from the orchestra.
“In accordance with the ‘politics’ of Carnegie Hall, Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra in New York will present not only Croatian excellence and culture, but also rich musical heritage and history, and in its jubilee 145th season will complete yet another valuable performance.”
