Directed by HK Phil Resident Conductor Lio Kuokman, this season finale presents a musical mélange to thank our diverse audience for their support throughout the past year. Young violin prodigy Paloma So plays Bizet/Waxman’s virtuosic Carmen Fantasie, and also Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso by Saint-Saëns. Acclaimed soprano Louise Kwong sings arias by Bizet and Verdi which reflect feelings of hope and courage. Joe Hisaishi fans will be treated to his popular anime music, along with Departures with cellist Thomas Hung. The concert ends with Berlioz’s energetic Roman Carnival, the perfect way to conclude this season on a festive note!
