Hold your hats, grab your checkbooks, and get ready for a magical evening of fun and music, coming soon to Winter Park.
On Friday, Oct. 28, at 8 p.m. at All Saints Church (The Thomas Room) in Winter Park, internationally acclaimed pianist Howard Shelley will take to the keyboard. He will offer a "Mozart Fest" and perform two Mozart piano concertos (K414 and K449). Several of the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra's finest principal string players, plus former OPO concertmaster and virtuoso violinist, Lisa Ferrigno, will form the chamber orchestra to accompany the concertos.
Shelley, as one of the world's most stunning virtuoso pianists, will play in a program celebrating the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth in 1756. Shelley began his career with a highly successful London recital and a televised Promenade concert with the London Symphony Orchestra under Michael Tilson-Thomas. Since then, he has performed regularly throughout the UK, Europe, Scandinavia, North America, Russia, Australia, and the Far East.
As conductor, Shelley has performed with the London Philharmonic, the London Symphony and Royal Philharmonic orchestras, the Philharmonia, Royal Scottish National, and many others. He has held positions of Associate and Principal Gust Conductor with the London Mozart Players over the past twenty years, either recording with them in London or touring the world. He has conducted and performed from the keyboard with many chamber orchestras, including the English Chamber Orchestra, Swedish Chamber, Zurich Chamber, and many others.
Howard Shelley has made over 80 highly acclaimed commercial recordings, including Rachmaninoff's complete solo piano music, a most formidable achievement, to say the very least.
Tickets are available by calling (407) 599-4316 or (407) 629-7654.
General seating is $60, which includes a pre-concert reception with the artist beginning at 7 p.m. Preferred seating tickets are available for $75 and $100, and include a private artist's reception following the performance.
This could be the best evening of classical music to be seen and heard in our area since an 89-year old Hungarian pianist, by the name of Sandor, performed several years ago at UCF.
If you have been thinking of a way of treating yourself to something extra-special for a long time, this just could be your moment.
