Qian Zhou and Bernard Lanskey – Violin and Piano Recital
Alongside three contrasting works – each central to the violin and piano canon (Beethoven, Brahms and Debussy) – this recital presents two perhaps lesser known masterpieces, Ysaÿe’s evocative Poème élégiaque and Ginastera’s dance-like Pampeana. 7.30pm 5 February (Tuesday), Conservatory Concert Hall
Led by Principal Conductor Jason Lai, the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory Orchestra opens this programme with an overture written by Beethoven in 1807 for a play inspired by the tragic story of the Roman General, Gaius Marcus Coriolanus. In the second half of the concert, the sunny pastoral energy of Dvorak’s Symphony No. 8 provides relief from the opening heroic tragedy. In between, Zhang Yiliang, winner of the Conservatory Concerto Competition Wind and Brass category, is soloist in Ferdinand David’s Concertino for Trombone, Op.4. Qin Li-Wei
