University Philharmonic Orchestra: Lunar New Year Celebration

View Venues, Dates & Times

The University Philharmonic here teams up with internationally renowned Chinese pianist Di Xiao (pictured) for a concert that’s being described as ‘fizzing with orchestral fireworks to see in the Lunar New Year’.  The performance includes the Yellow River piano concerto, a composition which, in its melding of Western and Chinese musical influences, is perfect for Di. “I want to become an international ambassador for the piano,” she explains, “combining Chinese and Western repertoire in the programming of my concerts, thereby creating a bridge between two cultures.” The concert also features music for pipa (Chinese lute) and guzheng (Chinese plucked zither).
