Description
The Hong Kong Children’s Symphony Orchestra (HKCSO), accompanied by talented young violinist Chen Xi, will perform two concerts titled “Melodies to Touch Your Heart” in May.
The concerts will be conducted by Dr Yip Wai-hong, with Professor Gabriel Leung as honorary guest conductor and Dr Law Po-kwan as assistant conductor.
The programme will include Mussorgsky’s “Night on Bald Mountain”, Mozart’s “Violin Concerto No. 5 in A, K. 219”, Massenet’s “Méditation” (from opera Thaïs), John Williams’ theme from the movie “Schindler’s List”, Sarasate’s “Zigeunerweisen, Op. 20” and Sibelius’s “Symphony No. 2 in D, Op. 43”.
Rising Chinese violinist Chen Xi has been described by music magazine The Strad as “a very bright musician with strong individuality”. He was born in Shenyang and showed astonishing musical talent at an early age. He made his debut public performance at 7 years of age and began performing with famous orchestras on the Mainland and around the world aged just 13. At 17, Chen won the Silver Medal at the 12th International Tchaikovsky Violin Competition in 2002, a year in which no Gold Medal was awarded, making him the youngest winner in the history of the competition. Chen performs frequently in China and abroad with concert appearance numbering over 300, and has played with many famous orchestras including the China Philharmonic Orchestra, the Russian National Orchestra and the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra.
