Cellomania: Edgar Moreau Plays Elgar

**Seats will be assigned by the presenter in the order of tickets purchased**

Conductor: Daniel Raiskin
Cello: Edgar Moreau

Having established himself as one of the foremost and heavily sought-after cellists of his generation, French cello superstar Edgar Moreau’s extraordinary finesse and impeccable technique have won him not only prizes at the Rostropovich and Tchaikovsky competitions, but also collaborations with such distinguished artists and orchestras as Martha Argerich, Yo-Yo Ma, Gustavo Dudamel, Valery Gergiev, London Symphony Orchestra and Los Angeles Philharmonic. He returns to Hong Kong this August to perform Elgar’s contemplative and deeply moving Cello Concerto alongside Hong Kong Sinfonietta under the baton of Daniel Raiskin, in a stunning programme which also presents Shostakovich’s monumental Symphony No 5, as well as the Asian première of Alfred Schnittke’s charming Polyphonic Tango.
