The European Sinfonietta will be conducted by Karel Mark Chichon.
A society spokesman said; “We would like to thank Lombard Odier Darier Hentsch for their support in making this production possible. This is a VERY big occasion for Gibraltar as a whole. Our Society is immensely proud, in fact Gibraltar as a whole should be, to be able to have soloists of this calibre. Just to give you an idea of the stature of these soloists and the event in question, our Society has already receiving bookings for tickets from as far a field as Zurich…... need I say more.”
