From winning the prestigious Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition in 2016 to leading world-renowned orchestras, Conductor Kahchun Wong has put Singapore on the global stage. Now, as principal conductor of the UK’s Hallé Orchestra and chief conductor of the Japan Philharmonic, he returns home to helm the Singapore Symphony Orchestra (SSO) for three unmissable evenings. On March 28, he joins critically-acclaimed German pianist Gerhard Oppitz for Brahms’ soul-stirring ‘Piano Concerto No. 2’, before taking the SSO through the dramatic highs and lows of Shostakovich’s ‘5th Symphony’. Then on April 4 and 5, celebrated Japanese violinist Akiko Suwanai takes the stage with Wong for Dvořák’s folk-inspired ‘Violin Concerto’, followed by Elgar’s deeply moving ‘Enigma Variations’. Tickets start from $15.
