Shui, the artistic adviser of the China National Symphony Orchestra, introduced Rhapsody Taras Bulba at the start of the concert, with the orchestra illustrating key musical passages as he guided the audience through the work's portrayal of a Cossack warrior's tragic fate.
In the concert's second half, Lozakovich, a Swedish classical violinist born in Stockholm in 2001, joined the orchestra for Brahms' violin concerto, a work renowned for its symphonic scale and for blending Romantic passion with classical structure.
