Chopin Gold: A Return in E Minor

International Chopin Competition Gold Medallist Eric Lu – who won with a masterful performance of Chopin’s Concerto in F minor – now turns to the composer’s Concerto in E minor, illuminating its lyricism and youthful ardour with his poetic voice. HK Phil Resident Conductor Lio Kuokman leads Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite, ablaze with orchestral fireworks, and the evening opens with Yao Chen’s newly commissioned Waltz of the Rolling Giants, written especially for the orchestra’s China and international tours in the 2026/27 season.

The concert runs approximately 1 hour 55 minutes with an intermission.
