Principal Guest Conductor: Christoph Poppen
Violin: Dan Zhu
Widely recognised as one of the leading musicians of his generation and “an artist of affecting humility and beautiful tone production” (The Strad), violinist Dan Zhu has collaborated with renowned orchestras such as the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Philadelphia Orchestra, and with legendary artists such as Christoph Eschenbach, Zubin Mehta and Krzysztof Penderecki. In his début with Hong Kong Sinfonietta under the baton of Principal Guest Conductor Christoph Poppen, he will play Polish composer Szymanowski’s captivating and charismatic Violin Concerto No 2, written for the monumental Polish violinist Paweł Kochański.
The programme will also feature the Asian première of celebrated British composer Thomas Adès’ “Shanty – Over the Sea”, co-commissioned by Hong Kong Sinfonietta and ten other overseas orchestras and festivals, as well as Mendelssohn’s beautifully picturesque “Scottish” Symphony.
