The National Symphony Orchestra （NSO） is set to hold seven concerts in three countries next month as part of its European tour in a bid to showcase Taiwan’s culture through music.
The NSO said the setlist would include three pieces, namely Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor, Op. 23 by Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky; Symphony No. 8 in G major, Op. 88 by Czech composer Antonin Dvorak; and Tao of Meinong （美濃之道） by Taiwanese composer Li Yuan-chen （李元貞）.
The tour, named “From Taiwan,” is about more than Hakka culture and also intends to show off the outstanding musical ability of Taiwan’s premier symphony orchestra, NSO music director Jun Markl said.
Li and violinist Paul Huang （黃俊文） are to be the featured soloists at the Staatstheater Braunschweig show in Germany on April 7.
Other soloists to be featured on the tour include pianist Vsevolod Zavidov, who is to perform on April 6 at the Stadtcasino Basel in Switzerland.
The five other shows are to feature pianist Khatia Buniatishvili and are to take place at the Tonhalle Zurich on April 3, the Victoria Hall in Switzerland on April 4, the Elbphilharmonie in Germany on April 9, the
Kuppelsaal Standthalle Hannover in Germany on April 11 and the Theatre des Champs-Elysees on April 13.
