Jun MÄRKL, Paul HUANG & NSO
Throughout history, numerous previously-overlooked musical works have stood the test of time to be ultimately recognized as masterpieces. A perfect example is Austrian composer Erich Wolfgang KORNGOLD's Violin Concerto in D Major. Paul HUANG will bring to life this unique fusion of classic Romanticism and Hollywood glamour with tender melodies and profound emotional depth.
Based on SHAKESPEARE's play of the same name, Russian composer Sergei PROKOFIEV's suite based on his ballet, Romeo and Juliet, has become iconic of the 20th-century since its 1938 premiere. Fueled by dramatic tension, this monumental piece paints a vivid portrait of eternal love. For the season opening concert of the NSO, Music Director Jun MÄRKL leads the orchestra in a brilliant interpretation of these legendary works. A gilded soirée for the heart, a memory to be etched forever in the soul.

Artists Introduction
Conductor｜Jun MÄRKL
Jun Märkl is a highly respected interpreter of the core German repertory, and has become known for his refined and idiomatic explorations of the French Impressionists. He serves as Music Director of the Taiwan Philharmonic (National Symphony Orchestra), Music Director of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and Chief Conductor of the Residentie Orkest The Hague, Netherlands. He also serves as Principal Guest Conductor of the Oregon Symphony.
Märkl's expertise in the world of opera and long historical relationships with the state operas of Vienna, Berlin, Munich, the Semperoper Dresden, the Metropolitan Opera of New York, San Francisco Opera and New National Theatre in Tokyo have been complemented over the past many decades by his orchestral music directorships of the Orchestre National de Lyon, the MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Basque National Orchestra, and the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra.
Märkl regularly guest conducts the leading orchestras of North America, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe and has conducted many of the world's most prestigious orchestras including the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Boston Symphony, the Bavarian Radio Symphony, the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, NHK Tokyo, and many others.
In the season 25/26, he is returning to the Auckland Philharmonic and Essen Orchestra; he is making his debut with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and recording with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Mr. Märkl also has an extensive discography of more than 60 recordings.
In recognition of his achievements in France, he was honored in 2012 with the title of Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
He studied in Munich with Sergiu Celibidache, at Tanglewood with Leonard Bernstein and Seiji Ozawa.
Mr. Märkl is highly dedicated to working with young musicians: for many years, he worked as Principal Conductor at the Pacific Music Festival in Sapporo and the Aspen Music Festival in Colorado. He teaches as a Guest Professor at the Kunitachi College of Music, Tokyo, and in 2023, he founded the National Symphony Youth Orchestra of Taiwan.
Violin｜Paul HUANG
Recipient of 2015 Avery Fisher Career Grant and 2017 Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists, violinist Paul HUANG is one of the most distinctive artists of his generation. After his debut recital at the Kennedy Center, The Washington Post remarked that HUANG "possesses a big, luscious tone, spot-on intonation and a technique that ... feels as natural as breathing." His recent and forthcoming appearances include his Carnegie Hall debut with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, as well as with the Cleveland Orchestra, Mariinsky Orchestra, London Philharmonic, BBC Symphony, Rotterdam Philharmonic, Residentie Orkest Den Haag, Tampere Filharmonia, Detroit Symphony, Houston Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, Vancouver Symphony, Dallas Symphony, NHK Symphony, Singapore Symphony, and his return to the National Symphony Orchestra of Taiwan. A frequent guest artist at music festivals worldwide, he recently stepped in for Anne-Sophie MUTTER at Bravo! Vail Music Festival and made recital debuts at the Lucerne Festival and Aspen Music Festival. In 2021, Mr. Huang became the first classical violinist to perform his own arrangement of the US National Anthem for the opening game of the NFL at the Bank of America Stadium. An exclusive recording artist for France's Naïve Records, his third album for the label (Korngold / Barber Violin Concertos with London Philharmonic) was released worldwide in June 2026. Mr. Huang performs on the legendary 1742 "ex-Wieniawski" Guarneri del Gesù on extended loan through the Stradivari Society of Chicago and is on the faculty of Taipei National University of the Arts. He resides in New York.
