Aristo Sham
Shenzhen Concert

Van Cliburn Gold Medalist Aristo Sham shines in Shenzhen with Rachmaninov’s technically and emotionally demanding Third Piano Concerto – a summit of the repertoire famed for its sweeping melodies, formidable virtuosity and symphonic scale. Under the baton of Roberto Abbado, the distinguished Italian conductor from one of music’s great dynasties, the programme opens with Shostakovich’s youthful First Symphony, written at just 19, bristling with razor-sharp wit and haunting lyricism. From sardonic modernism to lush romanticism, this concert promises a blazing musical feast.
