This is the gala opening performance for the Global Notes Series from Dubai Opera in collaboration with Encore Performing Arts. Global Notes is a new recital\/concert programme \u201cdedicated to celebrating the vibrant tapestry of cultural diversity and supporting young musicians from around the world\u201d; we think in essence this means an opportunity to hear some excellent musicians in a relatively intimate setting, though the phrase \u201cgala opening\u201d suggests it won\u2019t be exactly informal … The ticket price includes a drink, incidentally.<\/p>\n
Linus Roth, who plays the 1703 Dancla Stradivarius on loan from Landesbank Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg, is noted for his stylistic knowledge (as well as his performances as a soloist and chamber musician he is also an academic teacher of music and has been artistic director of music festivals) and his charismatic personality. For Linus\u2019s Dubai debut we\u2019re promised a programme of pieces from Brahms to Bart\u00f3k that highlight his virtuosity and dynamic musicality.<\/p>\n
Accompanying him is one of the most sought-after collaborative pianists of his generation., Boris Kusnezow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
