Programme Brochure

Synopsis

Two works of deep feeling and grandeur: one the most regal of piano concerti exuding tender beauty and assured optimism; the other a symphony of power and lyricism ending in heartbreak. Bringing fresh insights to these masterpieces are Singaporean conductor Kahchun Wong, winner of the Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition in 2016, with rising star Shai Wosner on piano.

Autograph Session with Shai Wosner

Programme Brochure
