Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor, Op. 26

Sarah Chang earned a standing ovation from the sold-out Thailand Cultural Centre for her interpretation of the Brahms Violin Concert in June 2009. Said the Bangkok Post reviewer, Ms. Chang possesses “impeccable technique, rock-solid intonation and superb musicianship.” As in the Brahms, she will be partnered by conductor Giordano Bellincampi.

The Silk Road Ensemble
with Yo-Yo Ma, cello
The Silk Road Project is a loose collective of about 60 brilliant people — not only instrumentalists and singers, but also composers, storytellers and visual artists — from many corners of the globe, but particularly the regions through which the old Silk Road trading routes ran, from China through India to the Middle East and the Mediterranean. In the past decade, the project has played in more than 25 countries. And it is some of these richly assorted virtuosi, performing an extraordinary repertoire that seeks to cross-pollinate music from many traditions, whom the great international cellist and Artistic Director of the Ensemble, Yo-Yo Ma, will bring to the Thailand Cultural Centre.
