Maestro Karel Mark Chichon, Artistic Director of the Gibraltar Philharmonic Society, commented:

“I am delighted that eminent conductor Gérard Korsten and Clarinettist Saulo Guerra together with the European Sinfonietta will open our 2021/2022 season of concerts with such a magnificent programme and in the unique venue of St Michael’s Cave.

“I cannot think of a better way to celebrate the first of our full orchestral concerts since the COVID restrictions began in March 2020.

“Music is food for the soul and The Gibraltar Philharmonic Society, on behalf of the Ministry of Culture, is more committed than ever to bringing world-class artists to Gibraltar and making classical music accessible to everyone.”
