Shanghai Symphony Orchestra introduced a new concert series brand on Jan 10 with the performance of Greetings to the Year of the Snake: SSO New Year's Concert 2025 with our Principals.
"The principals are a most valued asset of the orchestra," cellist Huang Beixing said before the show. Huang has been a member of SSO for 29 years and was appointed principal of the cello section in 2001. "From the gray-haired elderly musicians I saw when I first joined to us today -- young and old, Chinese and expatriates, I've witnessed and experienced the heritage of the principals at the company," he said. "The principals of SSO have all displayed distinctive music personalities and strong techniques."
