DEEP PURPLE Keyboard Legend To Perform With The Concerto In Adelaide 2008
According to the Adelaide Advertiser, former
DEEP PURPLE keyboard legend Jon Lord will join the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra for three exclusive Australian concert performances next year. He will apparently perform The Concerto as part of the ASO Plays Deep Purple concerts booked for the Adelaide Festival Theatre on March 27th, 28th and 29th, 2008. Jon is quoted as saying that "The ASO are well regarded internationally and I am thrilled to be working with them in these magical concerts."
As reported here last week, Avie Records in the UK are releasing Jon Lord's Durham Concerto on January 28th. The disc is a new 60 minute classical work with several soloists and the Liverpool Philharmonic. Lord himself plays Hammond. The Durham Concerto was conducted by Mischa Darmev at the Durham Cathedral in England on October 20.
