Hong Kong Week 2023@Bangkok – Opening Programme

Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra: Shostakovich Piano Concerto (21 October)

The HK Phil will offer a remarkable introduction to the Hong Kong Week 2023@ Bangkok with an opening concert in the Prince Mahidol Hall of Mahidol University. To celebrate this extravaganza with Thailand, the orchestra will bring along renowned Thai musicians, pianist Poom Prommachart and its Principal Trumpet Nitiphum Bamrungbanthum, for this special occasion. Together, they will perform Shostakovich's First Piano Concerto which features solo trumpet almost as much as the piano. The HK Phil Resident Conductor Lio Kuokman will open the programme with Ravel's La valse and conclude with Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade, which depicts in colourful music the exotic tales of A Thousand and One Nights.
