The
Symphony’s 2024 Lunar New Year Celebration continues our tradition,
first developed by Music Director Xian Zhang, of blending music from
East and West in a celebration of cultural collaboration. This year,
under the baton of conductor Yue Bao, the Symphony will perform
selections from Huang Ruo’s Folk
Songs for Orchestra and Zhou Tian’s Gift plus tried-and-true favorites like Spring Festival Overture.
Rising star Tony Siqi Yun joins at the piano to perform selections from
the Yellow River Concerto
and Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G. You won’t want to miss this
celebration to ring in the Year of the Dragon!
