Celebrating the 60th anniversary of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, this special one-night-only event unites HK Phil Music Director Jaap van Zweden and beloved cellist Yo-Yo Ma for Dvořák’s magnificent Cello Concerto. Beethoven’s heroic Leonore Overture no. 3 opens the concert, and Tchaikovsky’s Capriccio italien – a richly descriptive portrait of Italy – brings the evening to a rousing finish.
The concert runs approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes with an intermission.
