大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra
Sakari Oramo (conductor)
Gil Shaham (violin)

This kaleidoscopic programme will delight old and young alike, from Dukas's vividly imagined The Sorcerer's Apprentice to Bart贸k's dizzingly virtuoso celebration of the symphony orchestra. Far-Eastern colours and sonorities give Chinese-born composer Bright Sheng's music a distinctive appeal. Sakari Oramo is joined by distinguished Israeli-American violinist Gil Shaham for a performance of the composer's recent violin concerto, Let Fly.
