With the first symphony concert of the season, the new chief conductor Chin-Chao Lin, together with the Carinthian Symphony Orchestra, traces key milestones in his musical biography. To kick things off, he will transport the audience to the dramatic landscapes of his homeland with the short symphonic poem " The Angel from Formosa" by the Taiwanese composer Tyzen Hsiao, evoking nostalgic sounds. Lin applied for admission to the conducting program at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz with Beethoven's Symphony No. 2, while Mahler's Symphony No. 4, which he wrote in the composer's cottage in Maiernigg, marks his renewed connection with the region where he will now serve as chief conductor.
