Deep in the darkness of an enchanted kingdom, something stirs – and with a flash of light and a shower of sparks, Stravinsky’s Firebird bursts into dazzling life. It’s all about fantasy, and we’ve got a real magician waving the wand tonight. The superb young Singaporean conductor Kahchun Wong (appearing for the first time in Liverpool) was the winner of the Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition in May 2016. He won’t hold back on drama as he conjures up the world of Dukas’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (think Disney’s Fantasia) and partners pianist Denis Kozhukhin in Bartók’s explosive Third Piano Concerto.
