19 year old Jisun Kim, an extremely fine, very accomplished cellist is Bay of Plenty Symphonia’s guest soloist in Edward Elgar’s very popular, “Concerto in E Minor for Violincello and Orchestra” in the orchestra’s concerts at Baycourt on the 3rd and 4th of November.
Jisun has been playing the cello for nine years having started learning the cello in Korea. She is presently a 3rd year student studying cello performance with James Tennant at Waikato University. She has been a member of the National Youth Orchestra for the past two years and is currently the principal cellist in the Trust Waikato Symphony Orchestra. Jisun has held a Sir Edmund Hillary Scholarship since 2005 when she began her studies at Waikato University. She has been a very successful competitor in competitions within the Waikato where she won the University of Waikato Concerto Competition, the Hillary Chamber Music Competition and the Te Awamutu Chamber Music Competition. In 2006, Jisun received a University of Waikato Blues Award for her hard work and achievements in the performing arts.
Very recently Jisun was awarded second place in the prestigious National Young Performer of the Year contest held here in Tauranga.
Conductor James Tennant, also a very fine cellist, has lived in the United States, London and various parts of South America where he was the cellist of the Trio Mozart. James has performed as a soloist and chamber musician in sixteen countries. He is on the staff at Waikato University where he continues his career as a concert cellist, teacher and arts instigator. Since arriving in New Zealand in 1982 James has established himself as a highly respected and successful performer and teacher. He graduated with Distinction from the Interlochen Arts Academy and the University of Michigan, gaining many awards and prizes for his solo and chamber music performances.
James has conducted orchestras in the United States and South America. In New Zealand he has conducted the Hamilton Chamber Orchestra, St Matthews Chamber Orchestra, Nelson Symphony, Manukau Symphony as well as the Trust Waikato Symphony Orchestra. And at present he is the musical director of the University of Waikato orchestral programme. He has conducted the world premiers of four New Zealand operas and from 1998 – 2002 was the conductor of choice for the New Zealand Secondary Schools Orchestra. James has enormous energy and has a total commitment to bringing a work alive as Bay of Plenty Symphonia is experiencing. He has a real passion to excite and inspire.
The programme is most attractive as it features Schubert’s lovely Symphony No. 6
in C Major the first public performance of which was made by a professional
orchestra a month after the composer’s death. This work, along with Schubert’s
fifth symphony , found an influential champion in Sir Thomas Beecham whose
advocacy and recordings helped their popularity.
New Zealand composer Douglas Lilburn wrote the Aotearoa Overture in 1940 and
it was first performed at His Majesty’s Theatre, Haymarket, by the Sadlers Wells
Orchestra conducted by Warwick Braithwaite. Immediately acclaimed as a
New Zealand Classic for its theme of national identity, the overture was not
performed in New Zealand until 1959. It is now one of his most popular works.
Enjoy these fine works and more with Bay of Plenty Symphonia.
At Baycourt Saturday 3rd November at 7.30pm and Sunday 4th at 2pm.
A pre-concert introduction to the programme will take place at 7.05pm on the
Saturday evening and at 1.35pm on the Sunday.
