香港藝術節：「香港小交響樂團‧英雄‧貝多芬」Hong Kong Arts Festival: Inspired by Beethoven – Hong Kong Sinfonietta‧Eroica

香港小交響樂團於2021年香港藝術節為觀眾帶來引頸以待的節目，首席客席指揮柏鵬及有「中提琴新英雄」之稱的拉•馬爾卡，將分別從德國及法國抵港，無懼隔離21天，為香港樂迷熱情演出！

法國中提琴家拉•馬爾卡2014年榮獲法國古典音樂大獎年度新人獎項，他曾於多個著名音樂廳跟觀眾分享他的超凡才華，如法國愛樂音樂廳、倫敦域摩堂、阿姆斯特丹皇家音樂廳、柏林音樂廳等。憑著他完美流暢的演奏，他將會以中提琴演繹舒曼的大提琴協奏曲，肯定令人耳目一新。

同時，柏鵬大師亦會帶領樂團延續貝多芬的巨人傳奇，演繹振奮人心的「英雄」交響曲。本樂季駐團藝術家鄺展維最新作品《虛構序曲》，則以去歷史角度構想樂團本質聲音，想像與大自然聲境融為一體的音樂可能。

Joining hands with French viola superstar Adrien La Marca and Principal Guest Conductor Christoph Poppen – both of whom travelling from Europe despite the quarantine measures – Hong Kong Sinfonietta offers an electrifying addition to the programme of the 2021 Hong Kong Arts Festival.

Since being named "New Soloist of the Year" by Victoires de la Musique Classique in 2014, Adrien La Marca has performed at the world’s most prestigious venues such as the Paris Philharmonie, London Wigmore Hall, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Berlin Konzerthaus etc, impressing audiences with his depth of expression, technical mastery, and compelling stage presence. In this concert, he will play a viola adaptation of Schumann’s captivating Cello Concerto in A minor.

The concert also features Beethoven’s timeless “Eroica” Symphony under the baton of Christoph Poppen, as well as the world première of HKS Artist Associate Charles Kwong’s a fictional overture – an ahistorical reimagination of the orchestral timbre that becomes one with the sonorities of nature.
