“Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra music director Paavo Jarvi is unable to get out of Germany in time for the orchestra’s annual season preview luncheon on Wednesday in Music Hall’s Ballroom, and plans to greet symphony fans via Skype.” “Meanwhile, his soloist, violist Isabelle van Keulen of The Netherlands, canceled her appearance here due to the disruptions in air travel caused by volcanic ash. The orchestra announced late Monday that the extraordinary violist Nokuthula Ngwenyama will step in to make her CSO debut in Berlioz’ 'Harold in Italy.'”
AfriClassical recently posted this comment on Nokuthula Ngwenyama's first appearance with the Kansas City String Quartet, March 14, 2010:
“Nokuthula Ngwenyama made her Kansas City debut with 'It's a String Thing' benefit concert for the Kansas City String Quartet Program (KCSQP). Her stunning performance with iconic cellist Matt Haimovitz, prolific chamber musician Andy Simionescu, and KCSQP Artistic Director and Faculty member Elizabeth Suh Lane, received shouts of, 'Bravo' and a full house standing ovation. Kansas City was graced with a electrifying moment in Classical Music. Many thanks!!
Sincerely,
Roxanne Wu-Rebein
Executive Director
Kansas City String Quartet Program”
