Symphony orchestra plans a rich season
Print Edition
The Shanghai Symphony Orchestra is ready to provide a menu of fresh music from September to next June.
The new season will feature more than 70 performances covering symphony concerts, operas, chamber concerts and crossover performances at the Shanghai Symphony Hall.
More than 40 of the performances are listed as part of the 鈥淪SO Season,鈥 which are to be staged by the orchestra itself, while the rest covered in 鈥淪SO Presents鈥 as programs organized by the SSO.
German baritone Thomas Bauer, as the resident artist for the season, will participate in four concerts including a recital.
Argentinian classical pianist Martha Argerich, Finnish orchestral conductor and composer Esa-Pekka Salonen, Polish virtuoso pianist and conductor Krystian Zimerman, the Cleveland Orchestra and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra are also on the list.
Some old friends of SSO such as seven Grammy-winning conductor Leonard Slatkin, pianist Rudolf Buchbinder, violinist Leonidas Kavakos and conductor Jaap van Zweden will team up with the SSO again.
There will also be new visitors for the season. Russian soprano Aida Garifullina will present 鈥淐armina Burana鈥 together with the SSO in October, as a prelude to the 120th anniversary of the Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft, which just announced its three-year collaboration with the SSO.
Argentinian pianist Martha Argerich will stage her first performance in Shanghai next May with works of Richard Strauss, Liszt, Saint-Saens and Respighi. Belgium conductor Philippe Herreweghe, known for his Baroque music, will collaborate with the SSO for the first time in late May, staging works of Mendelssohn and Schumann.
Apart from classics from the West, the 2018-19 SSO Season will also present a series of original Chinese works. These include the world premiere of Zhou Long鈥檚 鈥淐lassic of Mountains and Seas鈥 inspired by ancient Chinese myths, as well as Chen Qigang鈥檚 鈥淯n temps disparu鈥 for cello and orchestra created based on a traditional Chinese guqin classic and Zhao Jiping鈥檚 symphonic suite 鈥淨iao鈥檚 Grand Courtyard鈥 featuring ancient Shanxi business culture.
Polish composer Penderecki鈥檚 symphony 鈥淐hinese Poem鈥 will be staged to provide a fresh angle of traditional Chinese culture.
