HK Phil Concludes 2024/25 Season With Performances Led By Tarmo Peltokoski and Jaap Van Zweden

HK Phil Music Director Designate Tarmo Peltokoski will return to lead the HK Phil in an orchestral adaptation of Wagner's The Ring – a condensed yet thrilling symphonic adventure, brimming with all the grandeur of the original music dramas. Opening the concert is Saint-Saëns's Carnival of the Animals, brought to life by the incredible Jussen Brothers, the most sought-after piano duo of our time.

In the following week, the Jussen brothers return to perform In Unison, a concerto for two pianos and orchestra composed especially for them by Dutch composer Joey Roukens, with former HK Phil Music Director Jaap van Zweden conducting. The first half of the concert features a recital by the duo performing without orchestra. The programme opens with Mozart's Sonata in D major and Schubert's Fantasie in F minor, both for piano four hands, followed by Hannah Kulenty's VAN…, a tribute to one of the most famous “van”s in the art world – Ludwig van Beethoven.
