Slovak Chamber Orchestra performs in Baku
Baku, September 22 (AZERTAC). Slovak Chamber Orchestra after Bohdan Warhal has performed in Baku as part of the 5th international Uzeyir Hajibeyli international music festival.
The event, co-organized by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, supported by the Musical Olympus Foundation, brought together musicians from US, Russia, Lithuania, and Azerbaijan.
The idea of founding a string orchestra has risen in the mind of Prof. Bohdan Warchal in the late 50-s, while still a member of the Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra. He gathered nine exquisite musicians from among the string section members of the Orchestra, and the new ensemble quickly caught attention of concert goers and critics and has found it`s place among renowned chamber bodies. During it`s existence, Slovak Chamber Orchestra has introduced itself on the most important concert stages and music festivals in Europe, North and south America, Asia and Australia.
It has cooperated with many prominent world-known soloists. Several Slovak composers were inspired by the music of the Slovak Chamber Orchestra, which resulted in premiere performances of their new compositions. The ensemble has recorded more than 100 music titles originating in different periods, for domestic, as well as for several foreign record companies. Since January 2001, Ewald Danel is the artistic director of the Orchestra.
