SZSO

Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra (SZSO) will collaborate with viola player Zhang Manchin and clarinetist Yi Cheng to perform “Double Concerto in E Minor, Op. 88.” The orchestra will also play Tchaikovsky’s “Symphony No. 5 in E Minor” and Singaporean conductor Kahchun Wong will wield the baton.

Praised by Musical America for the “depth and sincerity of his musicality,” Wong first came to international attention as the winner of the fifth Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition in 2016, following in the footsteps of Gustavo Dudamel, who immediately invited him to the Los Angeles Philharmonic as a conducting fellow for the 2016/2017 season.

As the new chief conductor of the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra, Wong will be making his debut at Klassik Open Air, Europe’s largest outdoor classical music festival, in August.
