Yang Liu, winner of the International Tchaikovsky Competition in 2002, performs in Hong Kong for the first time on the "Lady Tennant", one of the world's most coveted instruments.

Date : 19 September 2006 (Tuesday)
Time : 8 pm
Venue : Hong Kong City Hall Concert Hall
Violin : Yang Liu
Guest Conductor : Andrew Sewell

In 2005 the "Lady Tennant" STRADIVARIUS was purchased for a staggering US$2,032,000 at Christie's of New York and entered the Guinness Book of Records as the most expensive musical instrument ever sold at auction. In naming Chinese violinist Yang Liu as the instrument's first steward, Mr. Geoff Fushi, President of the Stradivari Society, declared, "Yang Liu's rare and sensitive artistry can only be enhanced by his partnership with this violin. This is one of the world's greatest instruments, and it is with a reverence for its past glory that we put it into Yang Liu's worthy hands."
