The Central Conservatory of Music Symphony Orchestra of Beijing is proud to make its United States debut at New York’s iconic concert venue, Carnegie Hall. Feng Yu, the internationally renowned maestro who also serves as President of the Central Conservatory of Music (CCOM), conducts the concert also in his Carnegie Hall debut. The program includes compositions by eight of China’s most distinguished living composers, all professors at CCOM. It features an astounding six United States premieres with several works starring soloists performing on traditional Chinese instruments. All eight composers bring Chinese traditions to symphonic forms. The performance, presented by MidAmerica Productions, is the second in a series of concerts featuring prominent works by CCOM professors, following a January 2018 Lincoln Center performance of world premieres.
