Press Release
- The HK Phil Presents an Easter Extravaganza
16 FEB 2024
Programme
The HK Phil welcomes the return of two artists who gave exhilarating performances last season. Paavo Järvi returns with Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony – the composer’s most frequently performed work and a testament to an era of struggle and oppression. Also returning is Luxembourgish violinist Alena Baeva, who brings us Stravinsky’s meticulously structured Violin Concerto, widely considered his best orchestral work. Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio espagnol is a perfect opener for the concert, as it echoes the dance-like qualities of Stravinsky’s neo-classical concerto.
The concert runs approximately 1 hour 45 minutes with an intermission.
HK Phil Jubilee Tickets ($50) will be available for selected concerts during counter sale period on a first- come, first-served basis. Each customer can purchase up to two tickets per programme (unless specified otherwise). These tickets are not available during subscription period, and no concessionary discount will be offered.
