Ray Chen Storms Liverpool
Ray Chen performed twice this week with the Liverpool Philharmonic orchestra. He gave an extraordinary performance of Tchaikovsky’s violin concerto in a concert that finished off with Stravinsky’s Petrushka. The ‘Phil’ is the musical proof of why Liverpool is the centre of the known universe. Ray Chen captivated the audience with his mastery of the 1715 ‘Jochim’ Stradivarius violin that is on loan to him and was once owned by Joseph Joachim.
