In November, Orquestra do Algarve promotes a German Music Cycle, which starts this first weekend of the month, after the focus in October on English music.
Thus, the Orchestra presents, on the 2nd, at Teatro Cardenio in Ayamonte (at 20:30, local time), and on the 3rd, at the Albufeira Municipal Auditorium (at 21:30), a program dedicated to Carl von Weber and Beethoven, highlighting throughout the cycle, the symphonies of this last composer.
The concert starts with the Overture “Coriolanus”, followed by the “Concerto for Clarinet Nº 1” by Carl Weber, with the interpretation of the soloist Pedro Nuno, second clarinetist of the OA. Pedro Neves, principal conductor, closes the program with Beethoven's “Symphony nº 1”, the first of his nine symphonies.
The Cycle returns at the end of the month, on the 30th, this time at the Igreja do Carmo, in Tavira, (at 21 pm) and with the works “The Cave of Fingal” by Mendelssohn, the “Concert in A Major, KV 30” by Mozart, with the participation of the soloist Jorge Alves, and the “Symphony Nº 622” by Beethoven.
