Programme
Overview

The absolute top chamber music from New York is here!

In this highly anticipated concert, musicians from the Lincoln Center Chamber Orchestra will perform Beethoven’s vibrant D major string trio, a work that, though composed early, foreshadows the great achievements of the “Music Master” in the future; followed by the youthful Mendelssohn F minor piano quartet; and finally, the event will end with the beautiful and majestic music of Dvorak’s A major piano quintet...
 
Founded in 1969, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center (CMS) is renowned for its outstanding performances, inspiring repertoire design and as a benchmark for global chamber music. It is one of the leaders in the field of chamber music in the United States and around the world, and is one of the 11 resident art groups at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the world's largest performing arts complex. It is on par with such well-known art groups as the New York Philharmonic, the New York City Ballet, and the Metropolitan Opera.
 
Rather than calling the Lincoln Center Chamber Orchestra an "orchestra", it is better to define it in a broader context:
 
It attracts the world's finest musicians, a multi-generational, international roster of 140 artists, including both individuals and world-renowned quartets such as the Emerson Quartet. Under the leadership of co-artistic directors pianist Wu Han and cellist David Finkel, this team of performers enables it to present chamber music works of various instrumental arrangements, styles and historical periods;
 
It includes all categories of chamber music performance: keyboard instruments, strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and vocals, and is the largest chamber music organization in the United States. As one of the leaders in the field of chamber music worldwide, the Lincoln Center Chamber Orchestra is committed to providing an excellent chamber music experience, reaching a wider audience than any other similar organization;
 
It continues to promote, educate, and foster a love and appreciation of chamber music as an art form. Each season, the Chamber Orchestra of Lincoln Center presents more than 150 performances and educational programs at its permanent home in Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center and on tours around the world, and reaches growing audiences through a range of free digital media resources, including live broadcasts, an online archive of more than 1,500 performances, and radio programs that reach millions of listeners around the world. The Chamber Orchestra of Lincoln Center's China tour is generously supported by the U.S.-China Cultural Association in memory of the beloved Ms. Xuelan Yang.

Guangzhou Opera House is a Chinese opera house in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, People's Republic of China. Designed by Zaha Hadid, it opened on the 9th of May in 2010.

In April 2002 an international architectural competition attracted Coop Himmelb(l)au, Rem Koolhaas and Zaha Hadid – each producing detailed designs. In November 2002, Zaha Hadid's "double pebble" was announced the winner and the groundbreaking ceremony was held early in 2005.

The theatre has become the biggest performing centre in southern China and is one of the three biggest theatres in the nation alongside Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts and Shanghai's Shanghai Grand Theatre. May 2010 saw American filmmaker Shahar Stroh direct the premiere production of the opera house: Puccini's opera Turandot which had in previous years been a controversial opera in China.

The structure was designed by Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid. It is conceived as two rocks washed away by the Pearl River. Its freestanding concrete auditorium set within an exposed granite and glass-clad steel frame took over five years to build, and was praised upon opening by architectural critic Jonathan Glancey in The Guardian, who called it "at once highly theatrical and insistently subtle."
