Sherry Tse, a violin prodigy from Hong Kong, China, performed the Butterfly Lovers’ Violin Concerto with the Bulgarian Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on October 6. This famous Chinese piece was performed for the first time by such a young performer, which shocked the nearly 2,000 audience. Sherry once received personal lessons from Professor He Zhanhao, now 91 years old, the composer of Butterfly Lovers’. It is no wonder that she, who has just turned eleven, can perfectly perform this emotionally complex piece. Sherry started studying violin at the age of four and is currently studying with Professor Robert Canetti. In October 2021, at the age of eight, she performed for the first time as a soloist with a symphony orchestra. She had already performed at the Schönbrunn Palace Theater in Vienna, the Rudolfinum in Prague, the Mozarteum Grosser Saal in Salzburg, the Liszt Concert Hall in Budapest, the Szolnok Aba-Novák Agora Cultural Center, the Saigon Opera House in Ho Chi Minh City, the Hong Kong Cultural Center Concert Hall…etc. With extensive performing experience, it is not surprising that she did extremely well on stage this time. Sherry’s performance was brilliant and she received standing ovation from the audience.

The Royal Concertgebouw is a concert hall in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The Dutch term “concertgebouw” translates into English as “concert building”. Its superb acoustics place it among the finest concert halls in the world, along with Boston’s Symphony Hall and the Musikverein in Vienna. In celebration of the building’s 125th anniversary, Queen Beatrix bestowed the royal title “Koninklijk” upon the building on 11 April 2013. It is a musician’s dream to perform in this concert hall. Bravo to Sherry!
