Paavo Järvi and Alena Baeva Will Perform With the HK Phil as Part of the SWIRE MAESTRO SERIES in March
Performances are 29-30 March 2024.
The HK Phil will welcome the return of two artists who gave exhilarating performances last season.
Paavo Järvi returns with Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony – the composer’s most frequently performed work and a testament to an era of struggle and oppression.
Also returning is Luxembourgish violinist Alena Baeva, who brings us Stravinsky’s meticulously structured Violin Concerto, widely considered his best orchestral work. Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio espagnol is a perfect opener for the concert, as it echoes the dance-like qualities of Stravinsky’s neo-classical concerto.
The concert runs approximately 1 hour 45 minutes with an intermission.
