Programme
Journey through Austria, Germany and Hungary in the company of award-winning conductor Wilson Ng, Associate Conductor of Seoul Philharmonic, who makes his HK Phil mainstage debut in this concert. Mozart was a great traveller and wrote his 36th symphony while on a four-day stopover in Linz, as he and his wife made their way to Vienna from Salzburg. And it was in Salzburg that he wrote his Oboe Concerto, which he then took on his travels, presenting it for the first time in Mannheim. In this concert we hear it performed by HK Phil Principal Oboe Michael Wilson. Kodály also had travel in his blood; he was the son of a railway employee and spent his childhood in the station-master’s house in the isolated village of Galánta, which lies on the line between Vienna and Budapest. In later life he remembered the folk dances of his childhood home and celebrated them in his colourful Dances of Galánta.
This concert runs an hour approximately, without an intermission.
