We’re delighted to have in our Zurich International Orchestra Series one of Asia’s most revered orchestras, the China Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra, on its debut UK tour performing a fantastically wide-ranging and impressive programme that unusually features both film and orchestral music.

Appropriately, the concert includes the UK’s first live orchestral performances since its release over 20 years ago of film score excerpts composed by leading Chinese/American composer Tan Dun from the Academy Award-winning hit movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which blends Chinese ceremonial and classical music together in action-packed drama.

Yhe Orchestra is joined by the brilliant young British violinist Tamsin Waley-Cohen in two masterworks for orchestra and violin including Chausson’s Poème, a fantastical story about a woman seduced by a former lover with an enchanted violin.

The second half features two of Respighi’s magnificent tone poems. These lavishly orchestrated tone poems written for a large orchestra capture the very essence of Rome with vivid portraits of bustling city streets, pastoral scenes, pines against a moonlit sky, and the marching tread of a Roman army along the Appian Way.

‘Tamsin Waley-Cohen tailored her sound to every aspect of the concerto’s musical landscape’ The Times

Duration: approx. 2 hours (incl. interval)
