Description
Ladies of the Qing court, waters of the Yellow River, the sun of exotic Sichuan and a rhapsody on the dulcimer
Conducting in this concert is Liu Sha of the China National Traditional Orchestra, a preeminent figure among the younger generation of conductors in China. As a visionary in the field, he has been actively commissioning and performing new works by young composers, which in turn helped to explore the future roadmap of Chinese orchestral music. The choice of music reflects his innovative programming. The first is The Twelve Beauties of Prince Yong by Luo Maishuo from Beijing, which is inspired by a painting scroll in the collection of the Palace Museum of Beijing. Its vivid depiction would take the audience to visit the subjects in the secluded chambers of the Qing Dynasty. Next on the list are two works by Wang Danhong, one of the most active composers of the younger generation in China today: the yangqin concerto, Rhapsody, and the totemic work representing exotic Sichuan, Hymn to the Sun. Besides works by young composers, the concert also presents a landmark piece in modern Chinese music, The Yellow River piano concerto. Come roam in a musical fantasy that traverses the brave worlds of old and new!
