A Orquestra Petrobras Sinfônica terá um grande concerto, sábado, dia 16, às 16h, quando subirá ao palco do Theatro Municipal o maestro Isaac Karabtchevsky, diretor artístico e regente titular do conjunto desde 2004. Como solista convidado, o pianista Nelson Freire, um dos principais pianistas brasileiros na atualidade.

O programa do concerto, da Série Portinari, terá três obras importantes. De Manuel de Falla, a obra a ser executada será "Noches em los Jardines de España", tendo como solista Nelson Freire. Depois, o belíssimo Bolero de Maurice Ravel e, completando, a "Sinfonia nº6" de Heitor Villa-Lobos.

A execução da sinfonia de Villa-Lobos marca o início da parceria da Orquestra Petrobras Sinfônica com a Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo, visando a gravação de todas as sinfonias de Villa-Lobos, e um fato interessante, mas também muito triste, tratando-se de um acervo da importância do Villa, é que das suas doze sinfonias, a de nº5 encontra-se perdida!

O "Ciclo das Sinfonias de Heitor Villa-Lobos" será regido na íntegra pelo maestro Karabtchevsky, e deverá levar exatos seis anos para ser executado com as novas partituras,todas revisadas, pela editora Criadores do Brasil.

É uma nova oportunidade de rever Nelson Freire, com sua arte, no Municipal, palco que está acostumado a pisar desde seus 12 anos, quando foi premiado no Primeiro Concurso Internacional de Piano do Rio de Janeiro.

Symphony presents cello-piano duo at Three Stages

The Folsom Symphony is proud to present a classical performance by two of its most popular soloists, Susan Lamb Cook and Natsuki Fukasawa, at Three Stages' Scott-Skillman recital hall June 16 and 17.

Cook, a cellist, and Fukasawa, a pianist, will play pieces by Bach, Brahms, Rachmaninoff, Cassado and Villa-Lobos. Both musicians performed as soloists with the symphony this past season. Fukasawa also performed as a piano soloist in previous seasons, and Cook has joined the symphony's cello section for our Beethoven concerts.

As a community partner with Three Stages, the Folsom Symphony is extending its commitment to bring beautiful music to the region by presenting concerts of artists who represent exquisite classical musicianship. Both have performed worldwide and produced CDs. Locally, Cook is the artist affiliate in cello and chamber music at the University of California, Davis, and performs frequently in Northern California. Fukusawa has taught at California State University, Sacramento, and is on the artist faculty for Sacramento State's Calcap Chamber Music Workshop.

The concerts will be June 16, 7:30 p.m., and June 17, 3 p.m., in the Scott-Skillman recital hall at Three Stages, Folsom Lake College, 10 College Parkway in Folsom. All seats are $20. For tickets, click here or call the ticket line at 916-608-6888.
