Washington Performing Arts Presents the Taipei Symphony Orchestra at the Music Center at Strathmore on Friday, November 15, 2019
Washington Performing Arts (WPAS) presents the Taipei Symphony Orchestra in its 2019/20 season programs at the Music Center at Strathmore on Friday, November 15, 2019 at 8 pm.
Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the Taipei Symphony Orchestra has grown from an ensemble of modest scale to a forceful musical presence known for its breadth of programming, extensive international appearances, and commitment to cultural diplomacy. The program’s centerpiece, Gordon Shi-Wen Chin’s poetic Double Concerto, features the prodigious talent of two Taiwan-born, U.S.-based virtuosi: Paul Huang, a winner of the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant and a cherished presence of the Washington Performing Arts season; and Felix Fan, the relentlessly creative, collaborative cross-disciplinary cellist and member of the Flux Quartet for whom this concerto was written. On the podium is Jahja Ling, widely credited as an orchestra-builder, who led the now-thriving San Diego Symphony to great renown as its music director.
