Experience an Australian tribute to eastern music heritage
Bringing together classic music from the East and West, this special concert will be performed by a sublime symphony orchestra, led by popular music maestro – Guy Noble and joined with emerging Australian/Chinese soloists.
The beautiful yet haunting 'Butterfly Lovers’ Violin Concerto is a synthesis of Eastern and Western music traditions, juxtaposing pentatonic melodies with a Western harmonic support. This world-known concerto, based on an ancient legend, is also known as the Chinese ‘Romeo and Juliet’.
Another exuberant Chinese masterpiece ‘Yellow River’ Piano Concerto integrates a classic post-romantic music structure with passion, beauty and strength, along with technically advanced solo phases, which represents the high spirits of Chinese people passing through generations.
Conductor: Guy Noble
Pianist: Tony Lee
Violinist: Amanda Chen
