Paavo Järvi and Alena Baeva Will Perform With the HK Phil as Part of the SWIRE MAESTRO SERIES in March

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.

Programme

RIMSKY-KORSAKOV Capriccio espagnol
