Lisa begins the tour in Tokyo on 13 February, where she performs Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No.1 with the New York Philharmonic conducted by Alan Gilbert. The following evening, she gives a recital with Yumiko Urabe for the Nippon Music Foundation, which has generously supported her career through the loan of several instruments. They repeat parts of the programme, featuring Beethoven, Schubert and Brahms, in Nagoya on 15 February.
The final concert is in Taipei on 18 February, where Lisa again performs the Shostakovich concerto with the New York Philharmonic, who recently announced her appointment as Artist-in-Residence for the 2014/15 season.
