“[Chen Xi is] a very bright musician with strong individuality...” The Strad

Tchaikovsky, the great Russian musician of the 19th century, was one of the first professional composers receiving education at a music academy in Russia. He integrated Western European creative techniques into his composition and created many works with unique national characteristics, becoming a truly representative of Russian music.

In addition, the orchestra will also perform Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 1 in G Minor in tribute to the master!
