Winner of the prestigious Geneva International Music Competition in 2021, Japanese rising star Michiaki Ueno is one of the most exciting young cellists to watch today, hailed as “a supremely confident, mature artist for whom technical mastery is in the service of musicianship” (Bachtrack). In his Hong Kong début, he will perform Lalo’s rhapsodic Cello Concerto with Hong Kong Sinfonietta, as the orchestra welcomes back Venezuelan conductor Rodolfo Barráez, winner of the 2nd Hong Kong International Conducting Competition in 2023, for his highly anticipated official début.
