Romance & Fire: Haochen Zhang plays Rach 3

Are you up for a truly mindblowing orchestral evening? Then, strap in ’cause you’re about to experience some serious solo mastery and dazzling symphonic power in a single sitting. For one night only, the Orchestra of the Music Makers, helmed by Music Director Chan Tze Law, will fill the room at Esplanade Concert Hall with a captivating performance of two monumental works of the 20th century. The two-hour-long concert opens with the main star of the night, Haochen Zhang, who will take on Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3. Famously known to be hard to play, it’s an intricate and fiercely intense piece that builds into big, dramatic, emotional moments, which the award-winning pianist will bring to life. The night will close out with a sweeping and cinematic rendition of Walton’s Symphony No. 1.
