Having enjoyed a meteoric rise on the international concert platform since winning 2nd Prize at the prestigious Geneva International Music Competition in 2019, Polish star percussionist Marianna Bednarska is bringing her electrifying performances to Hong Kong for the very first time. Joining hands with Hong Kong Sinfonietta and Music Director Christoph Poppen, she will present monumental composer Peter Eötvös’ Speaking Drums – an instantly captivating masterpiece utilising an impressive range of percussion instruments as well as the versatile human voice; the result is marvellous musical storytelling exploring the primal connection between music and speech. Rossini’s beloved William Tell Overture will start the concert, and Rachmaninov’s towering symphonic achievement – the sublime Symphony No 2 – will conclude the unmissable programme.
