SSO Subscription Concert: Emperor And Pathétique

Wong Kah Chun, and Shai Wosner
25 Aug 2017
7:30pm
Esplanade Concert Hall

Two works of deep feeling and grandeur: one the most regal of piano concerti exuding tender beauty and assured optimism; the other a symphony of power and lyricism ending in heartbreak. Bringing fresh insights to these masterpieces is Singaporean conductor Wong Kah Chun, winner of the Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition in 2016, with rising star Shai Wosner on piano.
