Conductor: Ken Lam
Violin: Luka Faulisi
Aged only 20, Paris-born violinist Luka Faulisi has already dazzled and impressed great masters with whom he had the pleasure of studying and working, including Pinchas Zukerman, Pavel Berman and Emmanuel Pahud. In his Hong Kong début with Hong Kong Sinfonietta under the baton of Ken Lam, Faulisi will present his captivating interpretation of Prokofiev’s brilliant Violin Concerto No 1, written when the composer was still in his 20s. The première of the work in 1923 attracted the biggest names in the art scene of the time, such as Arthur Rubinstein, Pablo Picasso, Anna Pavlova, as well as Igor Stravinsky – whose charismatic Octet for Wind Instruments, premiered at the very same concert, will be featured in this concert as well.
Another highlight in the programme is the long-awaited Asian première of leading English composer Anna Clyne’s Sound and Fury, co-commissioned by Hong Kong Sinfonietta, Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Orchestre National de Lyon, where the composer draws inspiration from the rich imagery of Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Haydn’s Symphony No 60, “Il Distratto”.
