PANG Ka-Pang conducts Suzhou Chinese Orchestra

New symphonic music from China
Organised by: Suzhou Chinese Orchestra

 

 

Suzhou Chinese Orchestra

In Suzhou, "Venice of Southeast China", a city criss-crossed by canals and with a history of several thousand years, one encounters artfully laid out traditional parks in the midst of modern building ensembles.

It was in this picturesque setting that the Suzhou Chinese Orchestra was founded five years ago. In their own concert hall, the young musicians, with an average age of less than 30, create entirely new and unheard-of timbres of classical music through the interplay of traditional Chinese instruments and instruments of Western classical music. With this unusual approach, they win the hearts of young Chinese audiences.

In 2021, the Suzhou Chinese Orchestra was awarded the special prize of the Austrian Music Theatre Prize for “International Orchestra”.

PANG Ka-Pang
Artistic Director and Principal Conductor

PANG Ka-Pang studied in Beijing and in Vienna and leads the Suzhou Chinese Orchestra. It has been founded five years ago, the orchestra combines traditional Chinese music with modern music under his direction. PANG Ka-Pang commissions young composers to write new symphonic compositions for the orchestra with the unique instrumentation of traditional Chinese and Western classical instruments. With the special timbre of modern interpretations, he wins the hearts of Chinese audiences and is now conquering Western audiences on an international tour.

In 2021, PANG Ka-Pang was awarded a special prize for “International music and cultural commitment” by the jury and the presidium of the Austrian Music Theatre Prize.
