China NCPA Orchestra in Chamber: Four Seasons and More from Baroque

Date: March 24 - 7:30 pm

Venue: National Centre for the Performing Arts

China NCPA Orchestra is the resident orchestra of the National Centre for the Performing Arts. Established in March 2010, the orchestra consists of highly accomplished musicians from around the world, who have performed in more than a dozen opera productions presented by its home venue each year as well as in ballets and regular orchestral concerts in its own season. With a notably busy schedule, the young ensemble has fast established itself as one of the most adventurous and dynamic orchestras in the country. The NCPA Orchestra demonstrates an abiding commitment to the highest level of artistic excellence and takes pride in its long-term collaborations with the finest musicians of our time. With its commitment to education and outreach activities, the orchestra has presented a series of Weekend Concerts at its home venue since its establishment. With selected program and accessible ticket prices, these concerts have become extremely popular with audiences new to classical music. Current plans in the repertoire include a new series highlighting the Beethoven Symphony, led by chief conductor Lyu Jia. In addition, the Orchestra frequently initiates wide-reaching educational projects in association with educational institutions across the city.
