With ample experiences and mutual understanding, the NSO String Ensemble is going to convey the brand-new concepts in the concert. The musicians will show their sophisticated skills in Barshai’s Chamber Symphony, a piece arranged from Shostakovish’s String Quartet No. 8. In addition, Chesky’s American Bluegrass and Yiu-Kwong Chung’s Peony Pavilion serve as a comparison between the East and the West, the ancient and the modern music. Having studied classical and jazz saxophone in America, Cheng-Yu Lee, the saxophonist who won the 2005 Chrysler & ICRT Jazz Band Competition, will perform Glazunov’s Saxophone Concerto in E-flat major, Op. 109 with the NSO String Ensemble.
