Beijing Union Symphony Orchestra announced the program for its 2023-2024 performance season on July 4.
From July 15 to Dec 8, the orchestra will deliver performances with the theme of "Total Beethoven".
Nine concerts will be staged by the orchestra under the baton of Fan Tao, artistic director of the orchestra, at Beijing Concert Hall.
Beethoven's symphonies, chamber music, violin concertos and operatic arias will be performed.
Soloists from around the world will also participate in the concerts, including pianist Tan Xiaotang, violinist Chai Liang, Russian pianist Alexei Kornienko and Austrian pianist Christopher Hinterhuber.
As the first privately-owned symphony orchestra in the capital, Beijing Union Symphony Orchestra was launched in the summer of 2022 by Beijing-based company, Music Fans. The company has held more than 4,000 performances across the country over the past 18 years. The company both owns and runs the new symphony orchestra.
