Soloists centre stage at cathedral orchestra concert

Staged by Chester Philharmonic Orchestra, the concert on Saturday, June 28, at 7.30pm will include performances of music and arias from operas including The Flying Dutchman by Wagner, La Bohème by Puccini, Mozart’s The Magic Flute, La Traviata by Verdi, Gianni Schicchi by Puccini and many more.

Chester Philharmonic Orchestra will be joined on stage by soloists Ukrainian soprano Khrystyna Makar, baritone Marcus Dawson and guest conductor Juan Ortuño.

Diana Anderson, chair of Chester Philharmonic Orchestra, said: “Our season of song and dance music concludes with an evening of favourite orchestral music and much-loved solos from the world of opera directed by Spanish conductor Juan Ortuño, a passionate advocate for singing and working within opera and choral societies.

“We are also delighted to be joined by acclaimed soloists soprano Khrystyna Makar and baritone Marcus Dawson for what promises to be a glittering finale for our 2024/25 season of concerts.”

Originally from Lviv, Ukraine and now living in Aberystwyth, soprano Khrystyna Makar graduated with a Master’s degree in voice at the Lviv National Music Academy.
