Amid mounting tension over the territory’s future, the New York Philharmonic today confirmed that it will perform two concerts in Taipei and a third in Kaohsiung (pictured) in June-July. Jaap Van Zweden will conduct, with Hilary Hahn as soloist.

The orchestra will then proceed to Hong Kong and Shanghi. Its final concert will involve musicians from the Shanghai Symphony and students from the Shanghai Orchestra Academy.

Political circumstances permitting.
