Violinist Roby Lakatoš returns to Spain to play with the Malaga Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of its Chief Conductor and Artistic Director Manuel Hernández-Silva. Lakatoš will perform the Concerto for Violin and Orchestra No. 1 in A minor, Op. 77 by Shostakovich, followed by Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 47. of the same composer. The Shostakovich monographic will be performed at the Teatro Cervantes in Malaga on 8 and 9 November 2018.
After winning the previous edition of the International Violin Competition Sarasate Live! in Pamplona in 2015, exactly two years ago, on 10 and 11 November 2016 Lakatoš played this same concert by Shostakovich with the Navarra Symphony Orchestra also under the direction of Manuel Hernández-Silva. In 2017 Lakatoš returned to Pamplona to offer another concert in recital format, accompanied by piano, and soon he will also be under the orders of Nicholas Milton to play the Serenade for violin, and strings by Bernstein, again with the Navarra Symphony, in a prestigious Spanish event to be announced soon.

After these concerts with Lakatoš, Hernández-Silva will conduct in Málaga, Pamplona and Bilbao the great pianist Kun-Woo Paik, who will play Rachmaninov’s Concert No. 2 and Prokofiev’s Concert No. 2. Hernández-Silva, admired by the critics and supported by the public, continues with his work of expanding the repertoire and scope of the Malaga Philharmonic Orchestra, in what is already his fifth season at the head of the company, and which he combines with his first season at the head of the Navarra Symphony Orchestra, while continuing his international career with upcoming debuts in orchestras such as the Tucson Symphony and the Philharmonic of Buenos Aires, the orchestra resident in the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, and other orchestras in Switzerland, France and Germany, about which we will publish punctual information.
