   The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) announces its highly anticipated return to China with a tour that takes place from 8-18 August, 2024.

  

  The tour marks the RPO’s first visit to China with Music Director Vasily Petrenko and its first tour of the country since the COVID-19 pandemic.

  

  With concerts in Beijing, Shanghai, Xiamen, Changsha, Wuhan and Nanjing, the Orchestra and Vasily Petrenko performs repertoire comprising a rich blend of British, Chinese and Russian music, including works by Benjamin Britten, Tan Dun, Guan Xia, Shostakovich and Rimsky-Korsakov. The tour will also commemorate the 20th anniversary of Guan Xia's opera "Mulan" with a specially arranged orchestral suite from the opera.

  

  Acclaimed violinist Ray Chen joins the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Vasily Petrenko on tour, performing Korngold’s Violin Concerto, which coincides with the release on the Deutsche Grammophon label of his new recording of the concerto, also with the RPO.
