Eternal Radiance · Shanghai Symphony Orchestra 2026-27 Season
The 2026-27 season runs to 93 performances along two strands, SSO Season and SSO Presents: 28 orchestral concerts, 47 by visiting artists, 7 chamber programmes, 6 MAP classes and 5 rush-hour concerts. The artist in residence is the violinist Leonidas Kavakos. He plays from the September opening to the June closing, ten violin concertos across eight concerts: Mozart Nos. 3 and 5, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Bartók No. 2, Shostakovich No. 1, Korngold, and Zhou Tian's concerto for violin and erhu, commissioned by the orchestra. The ten span roughly 250 years. The season also falls on the 120th anniversary of Shostakovich's birth and the 200th of Beethoven's death, and neither is confined to a memorial concert. Shostakovich runs from the First Symphony to the Thirteenth, with three of the string quartets from the Quatuor Danel; on the Beethoven side, the 32 piano sonatas are divided among seven Chinese pianists.
