The programme is comprised of three pieces: Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony, Francois Borne’s Fantaisie Brillante sur Carmen from Georges Bizet’s opera, Carmen, and Finlandia by Sibelius.
Protest: Finlandia is a symphonic tone poem by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. It was written for the Press Celebrations of 1899 – as a protest against the increasing censorship of the media controlled by tsarist Russia.
Tickets for the concerts are R150 and R120 for pensioners and students (excluding Computicket surcharge). All bookings are through Computicket. It is advisable to pre-book tickets.
