Stéphane Denève Conducts The Organ Symphony at Hong Kong Phil in June

The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (HK Phil) and the superb young Finnish Maestro Tarmo Peltokoski will conclude the orchestra's 2022/23 Season on 30 June & 1 July 2023 (Fri & Sat) with a stunning programme featuring the incomparable violinist Leonidas Kavakos in the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Concert Hall. 

Hong Kong Philharmonic presents the Hkiosc Winners’ Concert with Sumi Jo next month. The performance is on 17 June at 8pm at Hong Kong Cultural Centre Concert Hall.

Saint-Saëns’ Organ Symphony is one of the world’s best-loved classics, but live in concert it never gets any less thrilling! It’s an electrifying showcase for the Hong Kong Cultural Centre’s magnificent 8000-pipe organ: you’ve simply got to hear it for yourself. First, though, the great French organist Olivier Latry puts this colossal instrument through its paces in Poulenc’s rip-roaring concerto, and his compatriot Stéphane Denève lights a fire, with a high-octave modern French classic.

Rachmaninov’s sweeping Third Concerto has been called the Everest of Romantic piano concertos. On these concerts, it's performed by Van Cliburn competition winner Zhang Haochen and conducted by the HK Phil Principal Guest Conductor Yu Long. The Maestro will bring a unique energy and authority to the powerful Symphonic Dances, sometimes described as the greatest orchestral suite Rachmaninov ever wrote.
