A Grand Celebration Of Masterpieces

Under the expert baton of newly appointed Artistic Director Daniel Harding, the orchestra will deliver two evenings of spellbinding performances.

On Thursday, the concert begins with the dramatic the internationally acclaimed pianist Beatrice Rana‘s Hong Kong debut — she will dazzle the audience with Ravel’s vibrant “Piano Concerto in G.” Crowning the evening is “Overture to Les vêpres siciliennes” by Verdi, followed by Rachmaninov’s lush and soul-stirring “Symphony No. 2 in E minor, Op. 27.”

The following night, on 21 November, will showcase operatic grandeur with overtures from Rossini’s “William Tell” and Verdi’s “La forza del destino.” The evening reaches its apex with Act I of Wagner’s “Die Walküre,” brought to life by an exceptional cast of Wagnerian vocalists: soprano Miina-Liisa Värelä, 2025 Oper! Award “Best Male Singer” tenor Klaus Florian Vogt and Ho-AM Prize in the Arts winner bass Kwangchul Youn.
