Tickets are now available from Ticket Source: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/orchestra-north-east/t-nogldgy

Franck: Symphony in D minor
We are particularly pleased to welcome once again as our soloist Khrystyna Mykhailichenko, the young Ukrainian pianist who gave us such a stunning performance of Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto no.3 in June 2023. Khrystyna has performed with exceptional virtuosity throughout the world in prestigious concert halls and music festivals and to date she has been the soloist with symphony orchestras worldwide on more than 40 occasions.
However, the Russian invasion of the Ukraine in February 2022 has led to her relocation to the UK, with her mother and younger sister and, having first settled in Corbridge, where she gave a number of recitals, Khrystyna is currently extending her studies at the Royal College of Music in London.
Our conductor will be Alexander Rebetge. Originally from Munich, Alexander is currently based in Manchester and has worked with distinction with orchestras and choirs in his native Germany and the UK.

The Pen & Palette Club
The Orchestra is able to engage professional musicians for our concerts partly because of the generosity of individuals, but also because of generous and philanthropic organizations. One such group is The Pen and Palette Club from Newcastle, and we are very pleased to acknowledge their significant financial support for our concert in March.
The Pen & Palette Club was founded in 1900 in Newcastle by a group of professionals interested in art, literature, music, architecture, drama and related subjects. The Club meets about once a month in the Mansion House in Jesmond for lunch or dinner, to hear guest speakers on topics of cultural interest. Once a year the Club’s artists display their work and the writers entertain fellow members and friends with their poetry and prose. Musical evenings are given in the Mansion House by invited local professional players as well as by members of Orchestra North East.
The Pen & Palette has donated a considerable sum of money to the Community Foundation, which gives grants locally. In addition it gives financial support to local amateur and voluntary groups such as the Newcastle Lit. & Phil, the People's Theatre, Newcastle Chamber Music Society, as well as Orchestra North East.
The Club would be interested to hear from you if you would like to join or would simply like to receive further information. Full details of the history and activities of the Club, its future meetings, and its contacts can be found on the Club website: www.penandpalette.uk
