Eschenbach to conduct Shanghai concert
Print Edition
ABOUT 80 principal artists from orchestras worldwide will present the Harvest Fund Evening Concert at Shanghai Symphony Hall on October 22 as part of the Shanghai International Arts Festival.
It will be the first such concert ever held in China though similar concerts took place in other countries before, according to Chen Guangxian, president of the China Symphony Development Foundation, the event organizer.
The concert will star Christoph Eschenbach, music director of both the National Symphony Orchestra and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC, who will conduct the orchestra composed of musicians from around the world.
The orchestra will play Brahms’s “Symphony No. 1 in C Minor,” Strauss’s “Burleske in D Minor” and “Last Four Songs” and probably the Chinese melody “Erquan Yingyue” (The Moon Reflected on Stream) for encore.
“Though the orchestra members will arrive just days before the concert, there will be enough time for them to rehearse,” says Chen.
These foreign artists from the world’s best orchestras will collaborate with about 30 Chinese members in the orchestra, giving them a rare opportunity for improvement, Chen says. With so many principal musicians in the orchestra, lead players will have to be decided by lot.
