»Music is a Great Investment« – the South African organisation for music education MIAGI and its MIAGI Youth Orchestra have been carrying this message out into the world for over twenty years now and are themselves the best example of the unifying power of music. Highly talented teenagers and young adults from all social classes and regions of South Africa come together to form a multi-ethnic ensemble that draws its exuberant vitality from this diversity and at the same time builds bridges between classical music, African traditional music and jazz.
Experience the emotionally charged performances of one of the most exciting youth orchestras in the world.
Together with the German-British Choral Academy conducted by Wayne Marshall, Germany’s top young orchestral players present a programme dedicated to Britten, Holst and Gershwin – »very British«, in other words. The evening begins with Britten’s classic »The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra«, a piece that continues to playfully familiarise young audiences with the full range of orchestral instruments – and which also skilfully showcases the talent of the National Youth Orchestra of Germany this evening. Gershwin’s »Rhapsody in Blue« forms the centrepiece, and not altogether surprisingly: Gershwin is a speciality of Wayne Marshall’s. A classic that skilfully combines jazz elements with blues and concertante symphonic music and perhaps the composer’s most famous piece, which celebrated its world premiere in New York’s Aeolian Hall some 100 years ago.The evening ends with Gustav Holst’s orchestral suite »The Planets«, which is considered with good reason the forerunner of many a film score. The German-British Choir Academy participates as a cosmically enchanting distant choir.
