〖 Soloist · Ray Chen 〗 Ray Chen is a famous Taiwanese-Australian violinist born in 1989 in Taipei, Taiwan. He began to learn violin at the age of four (like the true prodigy he is), and within 10 years was invited to play in the 1998 Winter Olympics in Japan. He earned many awards such as Young Space Musician of the Year in Brisbane, the Sydney May Memorial Scholarship, and the Licentiate Diploma of Music at the age of 11. In 2002, he won the Australian National Youth Concerto Competition, and in 2005, the Kendall National Violin Competition. With a Bachelor of Music, Ray marched on to earn first place in the Queen Elisabeth Competition as the youngest participant and launched a concert tour soon after. He also appeared in many famous ceremonies and TV shows and was the youngest judge in the Mehuin Competition. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 〖 Accompany · Detroit Symphony Orchestra 〗 The Detroit Symphony Orchestra is an American orchestra that resides in Detroit, Michigan. They preform mainly in the Orchestra Hall of Max m. Fisher Music Center in Midtown Detroit. DSO (Detroit Symphony Orchestra) launched their first concert in the old 1887s at the Detroit Opera House, with a conductor named Rudolph Speil. As a small orchestra, it eventually ceased operations in 1910. Fortunately, they resumed when 10 Detroit Society women each donated $100 for it's continuation and pledged to find 100 other donors. The appointment of the Russian pianist Ossip Gabrilowitsch as music director in 1918 brought instant status to the new orchestra. A friend of composers Gustav Mahler and Sergei Rachmaninoff, Gabrilowitsch demanded that a new auditorium be built as a condition of his accepting the position. Orchestra Hall was constructed in 1919 in four months and twenty-three days. Under Gabrilowitsch, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra quickly became one of the most prominent orchestras in the country, performing with the leading artists of the day. In 1939, three years after Gabrilowitsch death, the orchestra moved from Orchestra Hall to the Masonic Temple Theatre due to major financial problems caused by the Great Depression. In the 1940s, the orchestra disbanded twice and moved to three different performing venues. In 1946, the orchestra moved to the Wilson Theater which was renamed Music Hall. In 1956, the orchestra moved to Ford Auditorium on the waterfront of the Detroit River, where it remained for the next 33 years. The orchestra once again enjoyed national prestige under music director Paul Paray, winning numerous awards for its 70 recordings on the Mercury label. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 〖Conductor · Jader Bignamini〗 (TBA) ------------------------------Extra note----------------------------- (TBA)
