Get ready for an enchanting evening as the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra (PPO) presents the third installment of its 40th concert season, "Fantasy," on December 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater. This concert promises to take music lovers on a journey of imagination and emotion, featuring the exceptional talents of violinist Diomedes Saraza Jr.
A Night of Musical Mastery
Diomedes Saraza Jr. will captivate the audience with his extraordinary skill on the violin, performing Jean Sibelius’ Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47. Known for its technical demands and emotional depth, this concerto is a favorite in the classical music repertoire. Saraza, playing on his 1972 French violin by Eugene Guinot and Rene Morel, will bring this challenging piece to life under the baton of Maestro Grzegorz Nowak, the acclaimed music director and principal conductor of the PPO.
About Diomedes Saraza Jr.
Currently serving as the PPO’s guest concertmaster and artist-in-residence, Saraza is a distinguished violinist with an impressive background. He earned both his undergraduate and master’s degrees in music from The Juilliard School as a full tuition scholar and furthered his studies at Yale University. Saraza has performed internationally, winning numerous competitions and collaborating with prominent conductors. His performances with orchestras such as the New York Symphonic Arts Ensemble and the Sichuan Philharmonic Orchestra have garnered acclaim.
A Rich Program of Classics
The concert will also feature Gioachino Rossini’s William Tell Overture and Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64. The William Tell Overture, famous for its exhilarating final three minutes, is a staple in pop culture, known as the theme music for The Lone Ranger. Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5, with its sweeping melodies and dramatic contrasts, reflects the composer’s personal struggles and remains a beloved piece in concert halls worldwide.
