Chloe Chua & Hannu Lintu – Jewel and Titan

Singapore’s young star violinist Chloe Chua performs Mendelssohn’s lyrical Violin Concerto, “The most inward, the heart’s jewel” among the great German violin concertos. Led by our Music Director Hannu Lintu, this attractive programme that the SSO will bring on its China Tour also presents Singaporean composer Wang Chenwei’s picturesque tone poem, The Sisters’ Islands, now an established work in Singapore’s symphonic repertoire. Mahler’s First Symphony, a titan among symphonies, concludes the concert.
