Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Han-Na Chang

Leila Josefowicz’s clear and incisive tones sears through thickets of dissonance in Alban Berg's Violin Concerto, “To the Memory of an Angel”. 

Making her debut on the conductor’s podium, Han-Na Chang’s enthusiastic musicality makes a strong impression at the Sydney Opera House, in Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto no. 2 and Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

Some 37 years after his Singapore debut, the cellist revisits Saint-Saëns' First Cello Concerto with the Singapore Symphony and Han-Na Chang. 

Bruno Delepelaire plays unforgettable Elgar, while Han-Na Chang makes a terrific debut in the RSNO's final season concert of 2022.

Fiery Beethoven from Han-Na Chang and full-blooded Grieg from Churen Li light up the season opener in Singapore.

Conductor Han-Na Chang and the Oslo Philharmonic impressed with a fiercely fast overture to Ruslan and Lyudmila and an exciting new piece by Norwegian composer Jan Erik Mikalsen.

The première of Bjørn Kruse's clarinet concerto proved disappointing, overshadowed by an energetic performance of Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony and conductor Han-Na Chang's fiery conducting.

Have you ever felt a sense of elation at the end of Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony? In many ways, I find the Fifth as intensely painful and autobiographical as the “Pathétique”, with the finale seeing the composer nobly ‘putting on a brave face’, accepting fate’s hand stoically. The last pages often play through a mist of tears, the triumphant march ringing helplessly hollow. Not so here.
