Programme

Overview

A New Year symphony concert at Xinghai Concert Hall in which conductor Liu Yu and the Shenzhen City Philharmonic Orchestra pair Chinese and Western orchestral favourites.

The evening is billed as a concert that sees out the old year with Western works and welcomes 2027 with Chinese melodies. Waltzes, polkas and dance excerpts by Western composers are set beside Chinese pieces, and the listing describes the Spring Festival Overture meeting The Blue Danube Waltz.

The concert is led by conductor Liu Yu, described as an associate professor in the conducting department of the School of Music at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) and a holder of a doctorate in orchestral conducting from the Karlsruhe music academy in Germany. The orchestra is the Shenzhen City Philharmonic Orchestra, with Steven An, a young violinist and educator, as its concertmaster.

The printed programme lists fifteen numbers, among them the Spring Festival Overture by Li Huanzhi, the Chinese folk song Jasmine, Voices of Spring Waltz by Johann Strauss Jr., Gold and Silver Waltz by Franz Lehar, Masquerade Waltz by Aram Khachaturian, a polonaise and Waltz of the Flowers by Tchaikovsky, Bacchanale by Saint-Saens, Anitra's Dance by Edvard Grieg, The Blue Danube Waltz, Beijing News Reaches the Frontier and My Motherland and I. The listing says the exact pieces and order are subject to the live performance.
