Ray Chen’s Hong Kong Début One of the most compelling young violinists of today, Ray Chen burst into the

international scene in 2009 when he won the prestigious Queen Elisabeth

Competition at the age of 20, playing Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto (as well as a

sonata and an unpublished concerto that he had to learn in a week). Invitations

from around the world immediately followed: collaborations with the Mariinsky

Theatre Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Deutsches Symphonie Orchester

Berlin, Daniel Harding and Maxim Vengerov, appearances at the

Moscow Rostropovich Festival, Verbier, Ravinia and Aspen

Music Festivals, recitals in the world's major cities, and an

exclusive recording contract with Sony Classical. Chen

plays the 1721 “Macmillan”

Stradivarius, provided as

part of the award for

winning the 2008/09 Young

Concert Artists International

Auditions in New York. Don’t

miss his Hong Kong début with

Hong Kong Sinfonietta!

“The musicianship of Ray Chen is just as exciting as that

of Gustavo Dudamel. He seems to have it all: instantly

recognizable tone, charismatic personality and musical

authority unusual for his age.”

Bogdan Roscic, President of Sony Classical

The concert opens with the world première

of Tang Lok-yin’s Visage, a work inspired

by the painted faces of the different

characters in Peking Opera. A Fulbright

scholar and winner of several international

composition competitions, Tang holds a

doctorate degree from the Chinese

University of Hong Kong and has received

commissions from orchestras and festivals

at home and abroad.
