Rimsky-Korsakov: Sheherazade Op 35 - Rotterdam Phil   (비디오)

 

It was only a decade ago that, Chan, a native of Hong Kong, blazed onto the scene as the first woman to win the esteemed Donatella Flick Conducting Competition in England. Since then, she has joined the global concert circuit and taken on jobs including chief conductor at the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra in Belgium.

 

On Thursday, she will lead the Philharmonic in performances of Martinu’s First Cello Concerto, featuring the soloist Sol Gabetta; the world premiere of Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate’s “Pisachi”; and Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Scheherazade,” a piece that helped Chan clinch her victory in the final round of the Flick competition.

 

“I’ve heard people laughing or looking at me like: ‘Oh my goodness can we see her? Can we make the podium taller? Ha ha ha, is she 9 years old?’” Chan said. “You can laugh all you want. But I know my stuff. And usually when I start, after five minutes or so, it gets quiet. There’s just music.”
