Symphony in Three Movements


The “Paganini of the trumpet” Sergei Nakariakov is returning to Hong Kong after previous sold-out triumphs, this time joined on stage by celebrated Hungarian trumpet player Gábor Boldoczki! Together with Hong Kong Sinfonietta under the baton of Music Director Emeritus Yip Wing-sie, they will perform the Asian première of Fazıl Say’s Concerto for Two Trumpets dedicated to them. Hailed as one of the most brilliant minds in music today, Say instils his distinctive and compelling compositional voice into the virtuosic work, and explores the trumpet family’s wonderful tonal possibilities.




 




 




 

Sergei Nakariakov (Trumpet)

“Heavenly trumpet sound.”Die Welt

“Sergei Nakariakov plays the trumpet the way the rest of us breathe – if we are lucky.”
San Francisco Chronicle

  • A prodigy dubbed “the Paganini of the trumpet” (after a performance at only 13) and “Caruso of the trumpet” (Musik & Theater), he made his débuts at Salzburg Festival and Ivo Pogorelich Festival at age 14 and received the Prix Davidoff the following year at Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival
  • His remarkable discography of not only the trumpet repertoire but also transcriptions of violin, piano and cello masterpieces has garnered the highest praises including “R10 – Coup de foudre” (Classica-Répertoire), RTL d’Or
  • A regular guest at the world’s most prestigious venues and festivals, and has collaborated with the top orchestras and conductors such as Ashkenazy, Bělohlávek, Eschenbach, Gergiev, Marriner, Temirkanov, etc



 

Gábor Boldoczki (Trumpet)

“Shining from within.”Weilburger Tageblatt

“He is a wonderful trumpet soloist with an unprecedented suppleness and a uniquely fluid legato, soft as butter.”
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

“Boldoczki amazed the audience. What sets him apart is his exact, finely varied and lightly tongued articulation. A soloist of this quality refines every piece of music.”
Salzburger Nachrichten / Die Presse

  • Recipient of the“Grand Prix de la Ville de Paris”, Third International Maurice André Competition
  • Has performed with well-known orchestras such as the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Mariinsky Theatre Symphony Orchestra, the Russian National Orchestra, Konzerthausorchestra Berlin, Czech Philharmonic and Vienna Symphony Orchestra

The APPRECIATE concerts are, mainly, classical concerts featuring guest artists and conductors of world renown.  Apart from performing orchestral masterpieces, Hong Kong Sinfonietta regularly commissions new works and introduces to audiences works that are rarely heard in Hong Kong.

Music is good for everyone! The LEARN series takes audiences aged 0 to 88 into the world of classical music through specially designed concert series including Good Music for Babies, Good Music for Kids, Short-cut to Classical Music, Know Your Classical Music and HKS McDull Music Project.

In the light-hearted RELAX concerts, Hong Kong Sinfonietta shares with audiences great music ranging from orchestral favourites to music from movies and musicals.

The ENCOUNTER series offers unique opportunities for audiences to get close to the music and the performers through chamber music concerts, talks, often at unconventional venues or time. These include Good Music This Lunch, Good Music @ The Fringe, Beyond Good Music @ The Fringe, HKS ArtisTree Residency and UpClose Encounters.

Often referred to as “one of the world’s great small orchestras”, Hong Kong Sinfonietta has been invited to go on many TOURS in Europe, Asia, South and North Americas, sharing good music with audiences in over 30 cities.  In 2017/2018, the orchestra will make its début in Germany and perform at festivals in France, Portugal, as well as the Beethoven Easter Festival in Poland.

WHAT ELSE?  Apart from classical concerts, Hong Kong Sinfonietta regularly appears in staged productions by Hong Kong Ballet, Opera Hong Kong and visiting arts groups such as The Royal Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Bolshoi Ballet and Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch. This season, Hong Kong Sinfonietta will also host the 1st International Conducting Competition.
