Singapore Symphony Orchestra Pre-Tour Concerts

On 8 Oct 2026, Singapore’s young star violinist Chloe Chua will perform Mendelssohn’s lyrical Violin Concerto, “the most inward, the heart’s jewel” among the great German violin concertos. The following day, 9 Oct, Chloe reunites with fellow Menuhin alumnus He Ziyu, who partners her on viola in Mozart’s charming Sinfonia Concertante.

Led by our Music Director Hannu Lintu, these attractive programmes that the SSO will bring on its China Tour also presents Singaporean composer Wang Chenwei’s picturesque tone poem, The Sisters’ Islands, now an established work in Singapore’s symphonic repertoire. Mahler’s First Symphony, a titan among symphonies, concludes these concerts held at the University Cultural Centre at the National University of Singapore.
