Asia tour 2023

Internationaal16 Jun '23 - 27 Jun '23(Past)

This summer the orchestra will return to Kaohsiung and resume its intercontinental concert program.

'Impressive' is an understatement, 'world wonder' comes closer: the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts, puts all other concert halls and music theaters in the shadow. The largest theater complex in the world, designed by Francine Houben, opened its doors four years ago and invited the Rotterdam Philharmonic with chief conductor Lahav Shani to participate in the festivities. Those concerts became an unforgettable experience.

This summer the orchestra will return to Kaohsiung and resume its intercontinental concert program. The performances on June 16 and 17 mark the start of a major Asia tour that also includes South Korea and Japan. The program includes works by Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov, with top soloists such as Akiko Suwanai, Bruce Liu and Bomsori Kim.
