Bruce Liu, the triumphant winner of the prestigious 2021 International Chopin Competition in Warsaw, now enjoys a remarkable career, performing in the world’s greatest concert halls and collaborating with leading orchestras. His virtuosity sometimes seems to surpass human limits, while his charismatic expressiveness remains utterly compelling. As the online magazine ResMusica aptly notes, “You don’t always know where Bruce Liu is taking you, but you feel compelled to follow him.”
Equally impressive is the Amsterdam Sinfonietta, a dynamic string ensemble that, since its founding in 1988, has established itself not only as the Netherlands’ leading chamber orchestra but also as one of the finest string orchestras on the planet. Renowned for its powerful and strikingly homogeneous sound, electrifying intensity in performance, and vast repertoire, the orchestra is led from the concertmaster’s chair by violinist and artistic director Candida Thompson.
