The NSO is off to Europe again, following its huge success there in November 2013. This time the orchestra plays in six cities in five countries: Brussels, Warsaw, Berlin, Lyon, Linz and Vienna. As a send-off celebration at home, the NSO offers a program drawn from the repertory to be performed on the tour. This includes popular symphonies (Dvořák’s From the New World and Shostakovich’s Fifth), famous concertos (Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2 with Taiwanese-born soloist Ray Chen and Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G with Alexandre Tharaud), plus a major Taiwanese work, Gordon Chin’s Symphony No. 3 (Taiwan).
