Programme
Finnish conductor and composer Esa-Pekka Salonen leads a program that places the horn in the spotlight – from the heroism of Don Juan to his own Horn Concerto, and Sibelius’s Symphony No. 5, whose final movement features the iconic horn theme inspired by sixteen swans in flight. Acclaimed for “a sound that blends power with lyrical beauty” (The Guardian), Stefan Dohr, Principal Horn of the Berlin Philharmonic, performs the Asia premiere of Salonen’s Horn Concerto, co-commissioned by the HK Phil.
The concert runs approximately 1 hour 45 minutes with an intermission.
