Co-commissioned by Hong Kong Sinfonietta and five other international organisations, leading Japanese composer Toshio Hosokawa’s violin concerto Genesis was composed as a gift to celebrated German violinist Veronika Eberle and her newborn son, and explores the beauty and mystery of the origins of life. This magnificent work will be brought to Hong Kong by Eberle herself, who has regularly worked with renowned orchestras around the world such as the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, New York Philharmonic and London Symphony Orchestra. Joining hands with Hong Kong Sinfonietta and Music Director Christoph Poppen, she will perform Genesis as well as Mozart’s sparkling Violin Concerto No 3 on 21 Oct, in a programme which also features Mozart’s Symphony No 33 and Schubert’s Symphony No 8, “Unfinished”.

Born in Hiroshima in 1955, Toshio Hosokawa is Japan’s pre-eminent living composer who studied composition with Isang Yun, Brian Ferneyhough and Klaus Huber in Germany. He creates his distinctive musical language from the fascinating relationship between western avant-garde art and traditional Japanese culture.
