Teatru Manoel together with the Austrian Embassy are producing an exciting concert on Wednesday 4th February 2015 at 8pm in which, for the first time in Malta, musicians from the world famous Vienna Philharmonic will join forces with members of the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra in an evening celebrating three masters synonymous with the City of Music: Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.
Wener Hink, who served as concertmaster with the Vienna Philharmonic for almost 40 years, Edward Kudlak, violist with the Vienna Philharmonic since 1972 and Fritz Dolezal, former solo cellist of the Orchestra, will lead the ensembles in Haydn’s glorious Emperor string quartet op 76 no.3, the ebullient Quartet for flute and strings K 285 by Mozart and Beethoven’s magnificent Septet in E flat major for winds and strings, op 20.
Sharing the stage with them will be soloists and affiliated members of the Malta Philharmonic, including Jose García Gutiérrez (French horn), Godfrey Mifsud (clarinet), Ulrike Buhlmann (bassoon), Rebecca Hall (flute), Maria Conrad (violin) and Michelle Scicluna (double bass).
