Legendary pianist Mikhail Pletnev will perform in Hong Kong on June 17 in the opening concert of the Leisure & Cultural Services Department’s “Great Music 2025” series.

The “Great Music” series returns this year with star-studded performances running from June to November.

Universally recognised as one of the finest pianists of our time, Mr Pletnev will present a solo recital, delighting fans with a curated selection of piano sonatas by Beethoven, and shorter compositions from Grieg’s Lyric Pieces Book.

On July 9, the 12 cellists of the Berliner Philharmoniker will make their Hong Kong debut with a diverse repertoire ranging from the classical canon to tango, jazz and spiritual music, as well as French chansons and film scores.

Tickets for both shows, which will be held at the Cultural Centre, will be available at URBTIX from April 3.

Call 3166 1288 for telephone bookings, and 2268 7321 for enquiries.

Details of “Great Music 2025” concerts from September to November will be announced at a later date.
