More than 100 young musicians will take to the stage when the Cape Town Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (CPYO) and the University of Cape Town Symphony Orchestra (UCTSO) present New World, Young Voices at Cape Town City Hall on October 13.
The concert, conducted by Brandon Phillips, celebrates young musical talent and collaboration between the two orchestras.
The programme features pianist Isaac van der Merwe as soloist in Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2, alongside Dvořák's Symphony No. 9, From the New World.
Audiences will also hear the world premiere of Chaos in Disguise, Part 1 by South African composer Kyle Benade.
Phillips, who is the permanent conductor of the UCT Symphony Orchestra, the resident conductor of the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra and a former music director of the CPYO, said the performance highlights the long-standing partnership between the ensembles.
