With a history and time-honored traditions spanning nearly a century, the NHK Symphony Orchestra holds a revered place in the global music community. Over the years, the orchestra has collaborated with numerous legendary conductors, including the acclaimed king of conductors, Herbert VON KARAJAN. Fabio LUISI, a virtuoso conductor and Grammy Award winner, assumed the position of the orchestra’s Chief Conductor in 2022. This August, the esteemed orchestra and the contemporary maestro will grace Taiwan with their presence, accompanied by Taiwanese violinist Paul HUANG, a sought-after figure in today’s international music scene. The concert series features Max BRUCH’s Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor, Carl Maria von WEBER’s Der Freischütz overture, and Pyotr Ilyich tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 in E minor, among other classic works. Music enthusiasts in Taiwan can definitely look forward to a spectacular midsummer celebration resonating with nature’s allure and deep Romantic sentiments.
