Andrew Wan Plays Sibelius

Smetana’s The Moldau sets the course: a river is born, winds its way, swells, and the orchestra sparkles with colors evoking forests, villages, and rushing currents. At the heart of the voyage, Sibelius’s Violin Concerto surges like an inner torrent, where Andrew Wan unfolds a solitary, ardent lyricism, sculpted by silence and soaring lines. After the world premiere of Cassandra Miller’s work, the journey concludes with Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake Suite, dazzling with orchestral brilliance. The river becomes a lake—a realm of magic, dance, and light.
