On July 3, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, led by maestro Jonathan Nott, opened the NCPA’s “Promenade Classics” concert series with Stravinsky’s Petrushka in Beijing. Blending 20th-century musical revolutions with Ravel’s piano concerto, the performance revealed Switzerland’s unique fusion of Germanic rigor and French flair — offering Chinese audiences a symphonic feast rich in depth and explosive beauty.
