Amsterdam Sinfonietta

Fri, Apr 4, 2025, 20:00

Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)

Amsterdam Sinfonietta, Candida Thompson (Violin), Bruce Liu (Piano)

Amsterdam Sinfonietta brings together 23 gifted chamber musicians, embodying ensemble-playing at the highest level. Led by artistic director Candida Thompson, the orchestra tours the world with adventurous programmes and crossovers with other music genres and art forms. Nostalgia for Italy runs through this evening: „The sun shines in all its splendour… at last, I feel a magical change within me,“ Tchaikovsky wrote while visiting the Italian city of Florence. „Souvenir de Florence“ is a tribute to the city he adored, music brimming over with love and joy. The young pianist Bruce Liu, who won first prize at the Chopin Competition in 2021, makes his debut with Amsterdam Sinfonietta, performing works by Chopin – his second piano concerto and the virtuosic Polonaise brillante – both in versions for piano and string orchestra.

Sun, Apr 6, 2025, 20:00

Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)

Bruce Liu (Piano), Amsterdam Sinfonietta (Ensemble), Candida Thompson (Violin), Candida Thompson (Director)

Sein Chopin klingt wie eine eigene Sprache – universell verständlich und individuell berührend zugleich: Bruce Liu gehört aktuell zu den besten Interpreten des feinsinnigen Komponisten.Mandarin, Französisch, Englisch? Für Bruce Liu nur eine Frage des Gegenübers – in allen drei Sprachen unterhält sich der in Paris geborene Kanadier mit chinesischen Wurzeln gleichermaßen gewandt. Doch sein bestes Ausdrucksmittel ist zweifelsohne die Musik. Seit dem ersten Platz beim Chopin-Wettbewerb 2021 erreicht der junge Pianist mit seinem feinsinnigen Spiel Musikbegeisterte. Sein Chopin klingt wie eine eigene Sprache – universell verständlich und individuell berührend zugleich.

Bruce Liu / Amsterdam Sinfonietta / Candida Thompson

Tue, Apr 8, 2025, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Bruce Liu (Piano), Amsterdam Sinfonietta, Candida Thompson (Violin), Candida Thompson (Director)

Mandarin, French, English? For Bruce Liu, it’s just a question for the other person – the Paris-born Canadian with Chinese roots is equally fluent in all three languages. But his best means of expression is undoubtedly music. Since winning first place at the Chopin Competition in Warsaw in 2021, the young pianist has been attracting crowds of new listeners with his subtle and unpretentious playing. Deutsche Grammophon hired him straight away as an exclusive artist and the doors of the great classical temples suddenly opened for the piano student, who has since surpassed the great promise that comes with such a competition win. His Chopin sounds like a language of its own – universally understandable and individually moving at the same time!

Sun, Apr 13, 2025, 18:00

Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Concert Hall (Katowice)

Amsterdam Sinfonietta, Candida Thompson (Violin), Candida Thompson (Leading), Bruce (Xiaoyu) Liu (Piano)

This is a moment everyone has been waiting for – Bruce Liu returns to NOSPR!In 2021, several days after his spectacular triumph in the 18th Chopin Competition, Bruce Liu gained 1,800 new fans as soon as he stepped onto the NOSPR stage (more people did not manage to enter the hall, even though, as we can remember, they tried!). Nevertheless, if we take into account the 300,000 online broadcast viewers, we can say that the concert sealed the Canadian pianist’s superstar status.Back then, Bruce Liu performed the Piano Concerto No. 1 in E-minor, with which he had won the competition. This time, we are going to hear the second one of Chopin’s concertos – the one in the key of F-minor. Both in the Concerto and in the Andante spianato et grande polonaise brillante in E-flat major, the latter to open the evening, he will be accompanied by theAmsterdam Sinfonietta, led by Candida Thompson. You might also remember these artists from NOSPR posters: in 2020, the ensemble and its leader were to accompany the Jussen brothers, but their performance was cancelled due to the pandemic.In the April concert, the Dutch orchestra will also present Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence and Mieczysław Weinberg’s deeply moving Aria. It will be a truly unique evening!Szymon MaliszewskiConcert duration (intermission included): approximately 120 minutes
