Violinist Mira Wang returns to take the spotlight in Chen Yi’s violin concerto, Spring in Dresden, a work she premiered in 2005 and which she will perform in Singapore on March 28 at the Esplanade Concert Hall.

Wang studied at the Central Conservatory of China in Beijing. Subsequently she was sponsored by Roman Totenberg to further her studies at the Boston University, where she graduated summa cum laude and received the prestigious Kahn Award given to outstanding performers.

She has won top prizes, including the first prizes at the Geneva International Competition and the New Zealand International Festival of Arts Lexus Violin Competition.

From Tchaikovsky’s immortal opera Eugene Onegin comes the Polonaise, one of its best known and most popular orchestral interludes. The romance continues with excerpts from Prokofiev’s ballet music to Romeo and Juliet, one of the most characterful musical renditions of the story of Shakespeare’s ill-starred lovers. -- www.sso.org.sg
