【Netherlands Focus】Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra
Before he was even thirty, Lahav SHANI joined the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra as Chief Conductor. In the 2020/21 music season, he took over the position of Music Director of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra from Maestro Zubin MEHTA, and has become one of the preeminent conductors in Europe with his emotional, calm, and dignified style. Instead of exaggerating conducting gestures, SHANI excels in delicate and unrestrained hand movements, bringing up the more dense and full acoustic from each instrument section. In these two performances, SHANI and the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra will be presenting Johannes BRAHMS's Symphony No.1, which took the composer twenty years to finish and was the breakthrough of his career bottleneck, and Pyotr Ilyich TCHAIKOVSKY's Symphony Pathétique, into which TCHAIKOVSKY instilled his life experiences and sophisticated taste.
In both concerts, the Rotterdam Philharmonic will be joined by soloists for concertos. On June 16th, violinist Paul HUANG will perform BRAHMS's Violin Concerto, which shows the composer's intimate thoughts, integrating wildness and tranquility.
On June 17th, in his highly anticipated Taiwan debut, Bruce LIU, first prize winner of the 2021 Chopin Competition, will play Ludwig van BEETHOVEN's Piano Concerto No. 3, which expanded the vocabulary of classical music with a hurricane spirit.

Violin｜Paul HUANG
Recipient of a 2015 Avery Fisher Career Grant and a 2017 Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists, violinist Paul HUANG is one of the most distinctive artists of his generation. After his debut at the Kennedy Center, The Washington Post remarked that HUANG "possesses a big, luscious tone, spot-on intonation and a technique that makes the most punishing string phrases feel as natural as breathing."
His recent appearances included the Detroit Symphony, Baltimore Symphony, Mariinsky Orchestra, Rotterdam Philharmonic and the Houston Symphony. Forthcoming engagements include appearances with Hiroshima Symphony, Dallas Symphony, NHK Symphony, Vancouver Symphony, and his return to the National Symphony Orchestra of Taiwan. A frequent Guest Artist at music festivals worldwide, he recently stepped in for Anne-Sophie MUTTER at Bravo! Vail Music Festival and made recital debuts at the Lucerne Festival and Aspen Music Festival.
In 2021, HUANG became the first classical violinist to perform his own arrangement of the U.S. National Anthem for the opening game of the NFL at the Bank of America Stadium. This year, HUANG launched "Paul Huang & Friends" International Chamber Music Festival in Taipei. An exclusive recording artist for France’s Naïve Records, HUANG's debut album for the label will be released worldwide in October 2023.
He plays on the legendary 1742 ex-Wieniawski Guarneri del Gesù on loan through the Stradivari Society of Chicago.
Piano｜Bruce LIU
Bruce LIU achieved worldwide fame in October 2021 when he won the 18th International Chopin Piano Competition, becoming the first Canadian ever to take First Prize in the long history of this most prestigious event. He signed an exclusive agreement with Deutsche Grammophon the following March.
Bruce LIU's highlights for the 2022/23 season include debut recitals at Carnegie Hall's Stern Hall, Konzerthaus Wien, and Liederhalle Stuttgart, as well as performances with Vienna Symphony Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Los Angeles Philharmonic and with Philadelphia Orchestra.
In addition, he has already performed with some of the world's leading ensembles, such as the Cleveland Orchestra, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, Orchestre symphonique de Montréal and at prestigious venues such as London's Royal Festival Hall, Paris's Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, and the Vienna Konzerthaus.
"What we all have in common is our difference." Bruce LIU likes to say. Born in Paris and grew up in Montreal, he has studied with teachers such as Richard RAYMOND and DANG Thai-son and approaches his artistic journey with optimism and a smile.
Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra
The Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra distinguishes itself with its intensely energetic performances, acclaimed recordings and innovative audience approach. Founded in 1918, it has claimed its own position among Europe's most foremost orchestras. After the first pioneering years, the Rotterdam Philharmonic developed into one of the foremost orchestras of the Netherlands under Eduard FLIPSE, Principal Conductor from 1930. In the 1970s, under Jean FOURNET and Edo DE WAART, the orchestra gained international recognition. Valery GERGIEV's appointment heralded a new period of bloom, which continued with Yannick NÉZET-SÉGUIN and with Lahav SHANI, Principal Conductor from 2018.
Home of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra is De Doelen Concert Hall. Since 2010, the Rotterdam Philharmonic has been a resident orchestra of the Paris Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, with performances from the local venues to concert halls worldwide, including educational performances and community projects.
The Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra has made critically lauded recordings since the 1950s, with recording companies such as Deutsche Grammophon, BIS Records, EMI, Virgin Classics, as well as its own label Rotterdam Philharmonic Vintage Recordings. Live streams of concerts can be seen regularly via Medici.tv, especially during the pandemic, the stay-at-home rendition of BEETHOVEN's Ode to Joy was viewed 3 million times and became world news.
