Asian Youth Orchestra: 2019 Summer Festival and Performance Tour




The Asian Youth Orchestra Summer Festival will be held in Hong Kong from 20 July to 8 August 2019. The Asia Tour Performance Schedule will immediately follow from 9 August to 1 September 2019.

Recently we released the 2019 AYO Audition results, showcasing the talented individuals chosen to join us this year and who will be performing on a global platform-- many for the first time! We were very pleased to hear so many excellent musicians this year. Every year our applicants push standards higher and higher, making it especially hard for us to make our final decision.

This year, the Summer Festival and Asia Tour will be led by the talented batons of conductors Richard Pontzious and Joseph Bastian with violin soloist Moné Hattori, and piano soloist Rachel Cheung. Under their guidance and considerable skill musical masterpieces will be performed, including:

Program A includes:

Richard Pontzious, conductor

  • Rimsky-Korsakov: Capriccio Espagnol
  • Bruch: Violin Concerto No. 1 in g minor

Program B includes:

Afterwards the Asia Tour will follow from 9 August to 1 September 2019 with performances in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Nanjing, Hong Kong, Taipei, Chiayi City, Seoul, Fukuoka, Kumamoto and Tokyo.
