Shanghai Symphony Orchestra
The Shanghai Symphony Orchestra is one of the earliest and best-known orchestras in Asia, through which Chinese symphonic music has developed. Spanning three different centuries, the orchestra has embraced a new era under the leadership of music director Maestro Long Yu. It has played a major role in collaborations between world-class musicians and has gained a reputation as the most authoritative interpreter of Chinese symphonic compositions.
The first half of the concert features two major works by Chen Qigang. Instants d’un opéra de Pékin is a fusion of Peking opera and Western symphonic music, whereas Un temps disparu is inspired by a well-known ancient Chinese melody and features the Chinese erhu. The concert also features Rachmaninoff’s bravura piece Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and Ravel’s exhilarating Boléro. The Shanghai Symphony Orchestra will join hands with erhu virtuoso Lu Yiwen and Chinese star pianist Zee Zee.
Duration: Approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes, including one interval
