Today’s press conference ahead of the #BMF2025 Opening Concert on Friday with China Philharmonic Orchestra, Maestro Long Yu and Haochen Zhang!
Shanghai Symphony Season Opening concerts on September 5th and 7th, performing Shostakovich’s Symphony’s No. 5 and 7 - followed by recording the works for a future DG release!
It feels like no time has passed since Frank Peter Zimmermann and I first met and played together those many years (30+!) ago. What a special evening on Thursday in HK to join with him and the @hkphilharmonic for Elgar’s Violin Concerto.
Performed Elgar w/ Frank Peter Zimmermann and China Phil yesterday—an unforgettable concert. Nearly 30 years ago, he and I first played this concerto together as young men in Germany. Yesterday, we brought it back to life in China. What a journey it’s been.
After Émigré performances in Shanghai, New York and Berlin - we added Hong Kong to the list with a wonderfully successful performance with @hkphilharmonic, HK Phil Chorus, Lanzhou Concert Hall Choir and incredible cast. #émigré #aaronzigman
Very much looking forward to bringing @Aaron_Zigman’s Émigré to Berlin with @DSOBerlin & @RundfunkchorB on Sunday. #EuropeanPremiere
PBS Great Performances will air our performance of @Aaron_Zigman’s semi-staged oratorio “Émigré” beginning tonight at 9/8c. Please tune in! Also available at pbs.org/gperf and the PBS app #GreatPerformancesPBS @nyphil

This week we’ve launched into rehearsals for Aaron Zigman and Mark Campbell’s Émigré.
This major new oratorio has been co-commissioned with our friends @nyphil and we’re delighted to be giving the world premiere performance a week today here at Jaguar Shanghai Symphony Hall!
Over the past 3 days, I have had the privilege of collaborating with 5 young pianists for the opening of the new season of the China Philharmonic Orchestra. First time in the 23-year history of the orchestra that we have opened the season with a series of concerts.
I’m incredibly proud of these young artists who not only possess exceptional artistic talent but also a genuine passion for classical music. They are the future. These days filled me with great joy & pride. I look forward to the @ShanghaiSO season opening next week!
