Bernhard Gueller leads Symphony Nova Scotia in a performance which features, as special guest, the young Canadian violinist Susanne Yi-Jia Hou, replacing Maritime tenor Terence Mierau who had to step down from this scheduled performance for health reasons. On the program will be Dvorak’s melodic Wind Serenade and Beethoven’s elegant Symphony No. 4 and his Violin Concerto, often referred to as the “Everest” of the violin repertoire.
Hou’s playing has been praised as “strangely strong yet delicate; her technique near flawless” (The Strad), and “absolutely phenomenal” (Lord Yehudi Menuhin). She performs on a $3 million 1729 Guarneri violin, on a three-year loan from the instrument bank of the Canada Council for the Arts.
Acknowledged as one of Canada’s most captivating and gifted young performers, Susanne Hou is in demand across Canada and around the world. Along with regular solo orchestral appearances, she is a lead violinist with Bowfire, the highly acclaimed production led by Lenny Solomon. Susanne has been seen on PBS and the Today Show amongst the top virtuoso violinists and fiddlers in each genre of modern string playing.
Suzanne recently performed the violin solos in the Atom Egoyan film Adoration, and was the subject of a CBC documentary entitled Shanghai Violinist.
