Performer: Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra

Two contemporary works pave the way for a big Tchaikovsky pairing at the Seoul Arts Center, with Yekwon Sunwoo joining the Hong Kong Philharmonic for the First Piano Concerto. 

Led by celebrated Chinese conductor Long Yu, the Hong Kong Philharmonic shines in Schönberg’s bold Brahms “makeover” and features two of their own as soloists in a finely contoured performance of the Double Concerto

Veronika Dzhioeva presents a menacing Turandot in Opera Hong Kong's latest production which attempts to merge historical accuracy with the complexities of Orientalism. 

On its 50th anniversary concert tour, the Hong Kong Philharmonic pulls out all stops in Singapore, joined by star French pianist Alexandre Kantorow. 

Star pianist Lang Lang delivers a drama-packed Beethoven concerto; Jaap van Zweden and the Hong Kong Phil impress in Copland's fanfare-filled Third Symphony.

Memorable Tchaikovsky from Leonidas Kavakos and the Hong Kong Philharmonic is flanked by strong performances of Sibelius and Shostakovich. 

After an abrupt end to the season, Jaap van Zweden and his orchestra look forward to a new season fuelled by hope and resilience.

Whether discovering new works or revisiting classics, the 2018-19 Hong Kong Philharmonic season has plenty to offer.

During his five seasons at the helm, Jaap van Zweden has raised the Hong Kong Phil’s international profile, particularly through his ongoing Ring Cycle in concert which reaches its conclusion in the new season.
