Shanghai-born conductor and impresario Long Yu looks back at his 30 years of steering China’s growing classical music world while familiarizing international audiences with the country’s most eminent musicians and composers. From his early days as a young conductor in Hong Kong, to become “the most powerful figure in China’s classical music scene” (The New York Times). Maestro Yu will discuss with Joanna C. Lee the importance of building cultural venues, nurturing the next generation, and developing platforms such as the Beijing Music Festival and Youth Music Culture Guangdong with artistic director Yo-Yo Ma.
生於上海的指揮家兼策劃人余隆 (Maestro Long Yu)借此討論回顧過去三十年的音樂生涯：他不但帶領了中國古典音樂的發展，也是將國內頂尖音樂家及作曲家引入國際觀眾視野的重要推手。這三十年間，亦是他由早期在香港擔任年輕指揮家，到被《紐約時報》譽為「中國古典音樂界最具影響力的人物」的歷程。此次的活動中，余隆大師將與李正欣討論與藝術總監馬友友合作建立、培育下一代音樂人才的廣東國際青年音樂周，北京國際音樂節等文化平台的深刻意義。
