Yaroslav Shemet makes his debut with the Presidential Symphony Orchestra at the CSO Ankara Main Concert Hall in Turkey on December 13th. Their programme opens with Turkish Capriccio as a tribute to the work of 20th century Istanbul-born composer/conductor Ferit Tüzün, followed by Nielsen’s Clarinet Concerto with the young Italian clarinet virtuoso Kevin Spagnolo as soloist. Premiered in Prague, Dvorak’s Symphony No 8 in G-major in the second half of the concert brings focus to “the Bohemian folk music that Dvořák loved” in the Year of Czech Music.
