Antiquities 2019

Those who would like to listen to Dariachanghi’s Orchard live again, you can come to Košice on November 28, 2019 where the piece will be performed by the Košice State Philharmonic led by Szymon Bywalec. The violist Peter Zwiebel and the cellist Jozef Lupták will give the solo parts.

On October 24 and 25, 2019, a festive concert took place on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Slovak Philharmonic establishment. The music director of the Slovak Philharmonic James Judd has chosen the piece Dariachanghi’s Orchard for this event. The piece appeared on music stands of the orchestra players after 31 years. The concert was a unique experience due to perfect performance by the soloists Martin Ruman, Jozef Lupták, the conductor as well as the whole orchestra! Thank you for that! For those who had no opportunity to come and to experience the atmosphere, this is the link to the Slovak Philharmonic’s web, where the whole event can be listened to and watched: (https://stream.filharmonia.sk/video/?v=KS201910251900)
