Shostakovich Piano Concerto no 2 in F major op 102
Mahler Symphony no 5
From wit to wonder 鈥� in a night of vivid storytelling, the 海角乱伦官方 Symphony Orchestra and conductor Kahchun Wong perform 20th-century greats.
Shostakovich鈥檚鈥疨iano Concerto no 2 bursts with youthful energy and sparkling wit. Performed by rising star Mariamna Sherling, this lively showpiece offers moments of lyrical beauty alongside shining virtuosity.
In stark contrast, Mahler鈥檚 monumental Symphony no 5 takes the listener on a profound emotional journey, from its dramatic opening funeral march to the radiant joy of the final movement. With the deeply moving Adagietto at its heart, this symphony is one of the composer鈥檚 most striking and enduring works.
Uniting these two worlds this evening are the RCM Symphony Orchestra, and principal conductor of the Hall茅, Kahchun鈥疻ong, internationally acclaimed for his electrifying stage presence.
