【2024 Weiwuying International Music Festival】Closing Concert - WAGNER, CHIN, BEETHOVEN
The closing concert of the 2024 Weiwuying International Music Festival will blend centuries, spotlighting timeless Beethoven and Wagner works, alongside a modern piece by maestro Unsuk CHIN. Kaohsiung Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor CHIEN Wen-pin, will perform CHIN's 2006 Cello Concerto with renowned American cellist Zlatomir FUNG, champion of the Tchaikovsky International Music Competition. This concerto, renowned in contemporary music, offers captivating interplay between cello and orchestra, and was hailed by The Guardian as "one of the best 25 classical music works of the 21st century."  

Korean pianist Sunwook KIM will shine as soloist in BEETHOVEN's Emperor piano concerto – a bold creation emerging from wartime audacity, demonstrating unwavering determination. WAGNER's final opera, Parsifal, showcases his mature and profound musicality. The masterful prelude beautifully blends solemnity and elegance, weaving intricate orchestral layers for a captivating and dramatic opening.

【2024衛武營國際音樂節】閉幕音樂會《跨越兩世紀的琴聲》
2024衛武營國際音樂節閉幕音樂會的曲目將橫跨兩世紀，從貝多芬、華格納的大師巨作，到享譽國際的現代作曲家陳銀淑的作品。陳銀淑的大提琴協奏曲著於2006年，本場將由簡文彬指揮高市交，攜手柴可夫斯基國際音樂大賽首獎得主－美國大提琴家馮勇智，以精湛的技法詮釋這首被《衛報》評選為「二十一世紀最傑出的二十五首作品之一」，探索大提琴與管絃樂團的音響碰撞，從扣人心弦的獨奏，到與樂團萬馬奔騰的壯麗合奏，是現代樂迷不可錯過的巔峰之作。本場還將邀請韓國鋼琴家金善昱演出貝多芬第五號鋼琴協奏曲《皇帝》，ㄧ首在戰火綿延背景下誕生，充滿鬥志的困難曲目。《帕西法爾》為華格納生前最後的作品，最能展現作曲家純熟音樂技法及飽滿的情緒表達，特別是第一幕前奏曲，時而莊嚴，時而輕妙優雅，以層次豐富的配器交織出戲劇性濃厚的開場。
