The Shanghai Symphony Orchestra will give the China Festival a grand finale at the Carnegie Hall on Nov 10, beneath the baton of its new music director, Yu Long, with help from pianist Lang Lang.
The 45-year-old conductor has performed many concerts in the US, conducting orchestras from both China and the US.
The concert in the Stern Auditorium, however, will be special, Yu said in his inter appearance with China Daily, because Isaac Stern, the late great US violinist to whom the hall was dedicated in 1996, played an important role in animating classical music in China.
