An evening of classical music
 Lovers of the classic and the contemporary alike are in for an
enchanting indulgence when Cinnamon Grand presents "An Evening of
Classical Music" on October 14th at the atrium Lobby at 6.30 pm. The
special evening will feature a trio of world renowned artistes; Kimihiko
Akiyama, Keiko Kobayashi and Mayumi Mori, with a variety of works
showcasing their individual talents.
The trio's ; Masters in their own areas of music and the evening's
performance will be a showcase of talent at its best.
The evening's repertoire will feature Tchaikovsky's Dance of the
Reed-Flutes, Waltz of the Flowers from "Nutcracker Suite" and Andrew
Lloyd Webber's Memory from "Cats" and other popular interludes from the
Masters of Classics. This will also be a truly rare and thrilling
experience for the audience, as this is the first time that Colombo's
classical enthusiasts will see and hear, a trio accompanied by a
harpist.
The harp is an unorthodox instrument, and a soloist of the caliber of
Mayumi Mori demonstrating her artistry in Sri Lanka is a rare treat
indeed!
