Cape Town Philharmonic

Harriman-Jewell Series presents Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra on its first United States concert tour at 8 p.m. Friday, February 25, at the Folly Theater (12th and Central Sts.) in downtown Kansas City. The Orchestra is arguably the most active orchestra on the African continent and substantially contributes to making Cape Town part of the global culture. Under the direction of guest conductor Martin Panteleev, the Orchestra will perform Walton’s Johannesburg Festival Overture; Barber’s Adagio for Strings; Rimsky-Korsakov’s Sheherazade, Op. 35; and Russian-born violin soloist Philippe Quint will join the Orchestra for Korngold’s Concerto in D Major, Op. 35.
