World-renowned violinist Lu Siqing has just dropped big news in Beijing: he's hitting six European cities from Feb 1–11, 2026 with the MAJOR Ensemble for 'The New Four Seasons' tour. 🎻✨
This isn’t your average concert series—Lu Siqing will give the European premiere of 'The Four Seasons of China', a fresh piece by Chinese composer Wen Ziyang. Pairing perfectly, Hungarian composer Stefan Peter’s piano 'Sonata of the Four Seasons', performed by star pianist Kovács Gergely, adds a Western twist. The result? A true East-meets-West musical convo that celebrates the universal language of the seasons. 🌸❄️☀️🍂
Tour Stops: Budapest → Sofia → Turin → Salzburg → Munich → Barcelona
The lineup brings vibes from the historic Danube banks to the art streets of Barcelona—all in just 11 days. Whether you love classical vibes or want to witness cross-cultural creativity in action, this tour promises fresh sounds and unforgettable moments.
Our reporter Yang Yan sat down with Lu Siqing to dive into his inspiration behind blending Chinese and European compositions. He explained how the cycle of spring blooms and winter chills resonates universally, making the seasons a perfect bridge between musical traditions.
