Pang Kapang conducts the Suzhou Chinese Orchestra in a colorful program of traditional Chinese music

The Zodiac Year of the Pig—an animal associated with luck, wealth, and happiness—arrives on February 5th, and Maestro Pang Kapang and the Suzhou Chinese Orchestra are celebrating with a fascinating concert of music from the Middle Kingdom. Join them for this performance in St. Petersburg’s prestigious Mariinsky Theatre, and savor the beauty of contemporary compositions and traditional melodies with world-class soloists Zhu Changyao at the Erhu (a bowed two-stringed instrument reminiscent of the West’s violin) and Kang Chiao-Hsuan at the cello.
