 Chinese violinist Huang Mengla will collaborate with the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra from Germany to present Mendelssohn’s “Violin Concerto in E Minor.” The orchestra will also present Brahms’ “Symphony No. 2” and three pieces from “Hungarian Dances.” Singaporean conductor Kahchun Wong will wield the baton.

Praised by Musical America for the depth and sincerity of his musicality, Wong came to international attention as the winner of the Mahler Competition in May 2016, following in the footsteps of Gustavo Dudamel, who immediately appointed him as a conducting fellow with the Los Angeles Philharmonic for the 2016/2017 season. Following a remarkable last-minute debut with the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra in October 2016, he was appointed as its chief conductor for the 2018/2019 season. Together with the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra, he is embarking on an extensive tour of China in December. In the summer of 2018, he will lead Klassik Open Air, the largest European outdoor festival of classical music.

Huang is one of the most active and promising young violinists of our time. His brilliant technique and unique interpretations have fascinated audiences throughout Asia, Europe and the United States. In 2002, he won the first prize at the prestigious Paganini International Violin Competition in Italy, where he also received the Renato De Barbieri Memorial Award for the best interpretation of Paganini’s “24 Caprices” as well as the Mario Ruminelli Memorial Award. Huang is now a faculty member at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.
