    SHANGHAI, CHINA, April 23, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Shanghai's acclaimed Symphony Orchestra will honour the life and works of iconic 19th century composer Franz Liszt in a special concert in Shanghai next month.

The production has been organised as part of the celebrations to mark the 200th anniversary of Liszt's birth in October 1811.

Two of the musician's most famous works - Piano Concerto No 2 in A Major and A Faust Symphony - will be performed at the show.

Guo-Yong Zhang has been lined up to conduct the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, having previously acted as music director for the Shenzen Symphony Orchestra.
