The Oradea Philharmonic on Thursday will present the concert entitled "Seherezada," with works by American composer George Gershwin and Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, and pianist Csíky Boldizsar as a guest. The symphony orchestra will be conducted by Romeo Rimbu.
The first piece that will be presented during the weekly concert is the "Porgy and Bess" Suite by George Gershwin, followed by "Rhapsody in Blue" by the same author, and after the break, the symphonic Suite "Sheherezada," op. 35, by Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov.
The title of the concert is given by this work of the Russian composer, which is one of his most important works. It was composed in 1888 and is inspired by the collection of stories "A Thousand and One nights," also known as "The Arabian Nights."
The concert will be led by the permanent conductor of the Oradea Philharmonic, Romeo Rimbu, a complex musician, who works both as an oboist and as a conductor, in collaboration with numerous orchestras in Romania and abroad. He is a university professor at the Faculty of Arts in Oradea.
