Grandeur of Beethoven under the baton of German conductor

SOSL to perform Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony at the German Masterworks concert

Dr. Hans-Jurgen Nagel, the German conductor and expert exponent of Beethoven’s music, will conduct the majestic and powerful Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony at the Symphony Orchestra of Sri Lanka’s German Masterworks concert on February 18 at the Musaeus College auditorium.

Dr Hans-Jurgen Nagel

Dr. Nagel, who between 1971 and 1980 was director of the Bonn International Beethoven Festival, is an experienced Beethoven interpreter, whose expert interpretation of the famous Fifth Symphony draws out the power and majesty of this “most famous and most frequently performed piece of classical music”. Both orchestra and audience will be transported by the sheer dynamism of this powerful piece of music. It is an experience that should not be missed by classical music enthusiasts in this country.

Aron Konczei, the Hungarian French Horn Specialist, visiting Asia and Sri Lanka for the first time is happy to be performing a piece that he aspired to play ever since he first played the French Horn at the tender age of eight, and especially happy to perform this with an orchestra that clearly performs with “heart” and a great love of music.

The Symphony Orchestra of Sri Lanka inaugural Musaeus College Hall concert’s exciting programme has three landmark compositions in three different genres, written by three of the greatest composers the world has known.

Mozart’s delightful Overture to the Magic Flute will start off the concert, followed by Richard Strauss’ French Horn Concerto No. 1, considered to be the greatest work for that instrument. The evening’s programme will conclude with Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, providing the audience with an unforgettable evening of classical music.

Tickets and box plan are at Park Street Mews, Colombo 02.
