The musical idiom of composer Huang Ruo, an original blend of various genres, has been praised for instance in The New Yorker and in the New York Times. Butterfly Lovers’ Violin Concerto is one of the most popular Chinese orchestral works. It is based on a Chinese folk tale of tragic love. The soloist is Huang Mengla, winner of the international Paganini Competition in 2002. Dvořák’s hit symphony, also a blend of styles, concludes the concert conducted by high-flying conductor Tianyi Lu.
