On the 27th, the orchestra will appear with pianist Daniil Trifonov. The Times (UK) calls Trifonov “without question the most astounding pianist of our age.” He impressed so many music lovers with the performance of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 with maestros Myun-wun Chung and Temirkanov. This time, Trifonov will challenge this masterpiece for a second time. Besides, the orchestra will lead the audience into a vast and beautiful ocean of the Russian melody from Glinka’s Overture to Ruslan and Lyudmila and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 in F Minor.

They will perform Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2 in D Major, which was composed by Beethoven after the resurgence of an ear disease, and “Fate Symphony” (Symphony No. 5 in C Minor), composed after he wrote a living will. Both symphonies are full of the composer’s expectations on a good life and struggle against the cruel fate. Additionally, Chinese pianist CHEN Sa will perform Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor with the orchestra. Music lovers will be affected by the composer’s dramatic splendid life and magnificent vitality.
