Sydney Symphony Orchestra
China Tour 2014


The internationally acclaimed Sydney Symphony Orchestra is resident at the iconic Sydney Opera House and performs more than 180 concerts a year in Australia and around the world, in partnership with some of the world’s most illustrious conductors and soloists.

Under its Chief Conductor and Artistic Director David Robertson, the Orchestra returns for its third tour to China, this time performing eight concerts in seven cities: Shanghai, Beijing, Xi’an, Jinan, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

Sydney Symphony Orchestra has long cultivated great relationships with Chinese artists, welcoming many to participate in its concert seasons. In 2013, for instance, Chinese artists who made appearances included Tan Dun with his Martial Arts Trilogy, Long Yu conducting Carmina Burana, and the Grammys-nominated Pipa soloist Wu Man’s performance in “Pipa Concerto”, a Jiping Zhao composition commissioned by the orchestra.

This year’s tour to China, the third in the Orchestra’s history, features piano soloist Zhang Haochen, Shanghai-born gold medallist of the 2009 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, interpreting Beethoven’s majestic Piano Concerto No. 5 “Emperor”. The tour will also feature Schultz’s Sound Lur and Serpent – a Fanfare for brass and percussion and R Strauss’ Ein Heldenleben.
