Prepare to be swept away.

International violin sensation Ray Chen returns to the stage in a performance that promises to ignite the soul and stir the heart. Dressed in elegance set against a bold orange backdrop Chen brings fire and finesse to Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1 in g minor a work of sweeping romance and emotional depth that has captivated audiences for generations.

But this evening is more than a solo. It’s a journey through memory tradition and collective voice:

Zhou Tian’s “A Thousand Years of Good Prayers” opens the night with quiet strength and reverence a meditation on heritage and hope.

Bruch’s Violin Concerto follows with Chen’s virtuosic artistry breathing new life into its timeless melodies.

Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra closes the program a dazzling showcase of ensemble brilliance led by conductor Timothy Muffitt where every instrument tells its own story.

This is not just a concert. It’s a celebration of music’s power to connect us across time across cultures across generations.
