The works for two pianos presented at the closing concert are dedicated to the triumphant artistic return amidst hardships of three Russian composers: Medtner's Op. 58 reflects Rachmaninov's insistence to compose daily despite the dangers in war; Rachmaninov's Suite No. 2 for Two Pianos proves his talent again four years after his First Symphony; and the 'near-riot' premiere of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring only adds on its eminence!
**CANCELLATION OF CONCERTS**
In light of the latest development of the Novel Coronavirus outbreak and in accordance with the University’s preventive measures, the four Russian Moments concerts with pianists Konstantin Lifschitz and Alexei Volodin on 14-16 February will be cancelled. Detailed refund arrangements will be sent to ticket holders in due course. Thank you for your support and understanding.
為預防新型冠狀病毒傳播以及配合港大相關防控措施，原定於2月14至16日舉行的「俄羅斯時刻」四場音樂會將會取消。我們會儘快透過電郵通知已購票人仕有關退票詳情。謝謝您的體諒與支持。
