EVENT DESCRIPTION

Programme

BRUCH | Violin Concerto no. 1
BEETHOVEN | Symphony no. 3, Eroica

Wilson Ng, conductor
Zia Shin, violin

From its opening two chords to the exhilarating finale, Beethoven’s Third Symphony changed classical music forever with its extraordinary scope and bold harmonies. Beethoven wrote the work in an age of struggle and revolution and called it “Eroica” (Heroic). Join Wilson Ng and the HK Phil on one of the greatest journeys that any conductor, any orchestra and any audience can take together. To open the concert, Korean violinist Zia Shin delights audiences with Bruch’s much-loved Violin Concerto for her HK Phil debut.

The concert runs approximately 1.5 hours with an intermission.
