Programme

Overview

Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra performs two works by Zhao Jiping and the symphonic suite Pearl River, with conductor Huang Yi and violinist Li Jinzhu.

The concert is organised by Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Huang Yi, with violinist Li Jinzhu as soloist and the Shenzhen Opera and Dance Theatre Choir taking part. The programme lists Zhao Jiping's three concert pieces Silk Road Musical Moments, his Violin Concerto No. 1, and the symphonic suite Pearl River by Shu Nan and Chen Si'ang, commissioned by Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra.

According to the listing, Silk Road Musical Moments draws its three pieces from the grandeur of Zhongding Chang'an, the dreamlike mood of Tangping Menghuan and the fervour of Gaoyuan Kuangwu. The Violin Concerto No. 1 is described as the result of ten years of work by Zhao Jiping, played in a Western form but with many Chinese musical elements.

The soloist Li Jinzhu, born in 2007, studied at the secondary school attached to the Xinghai Conservatory of Music. The listing says she recently took second prize at the 17th Henryk Wieniawski International Violin Competition. The performance is about 75 minutes with a 20-minute interval.
