For three weeks in June 2012 the Conservatory Orchestra, conducted by Leon Botstein, will tour greater China, performing in Taipei, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Wuhan, and Guangzhou.
In Taipei, the Orchestra’s performance will feature pianists Lina Yeh and Rolf Peter-Wille in the Mozart Concerto in E flat, KV 365, along with the Symphony No. 5 of Gustav Mahler. All other performances of the tour will be part of a collaboration with the Bard Music Festival, including a revisiting of “Tchaikovsky and World,” “Mahler and His World,” and a special illustrated lecture/concert curated by Leon Botstein on the topic “Shanghai Refugees.”
