Wow, it feels like just yesterday that we posted something about the Symphony's Chinese New Year's concert for last year's Year of the Pig! Well, it's now the Year of the Rat, and the orchestra's raring to go! Last year's 14 year old solo pianist, Peng Peng, is now 15 and this year, he'll be playing a Mozart piano duet with 13-year-old up and comer Conrad Tao. The orchestra will again be helmed by Carolyn Kuan and we expect it'll be a sold out show.

However -- those of you who fear Chinese opera, take heed! The erhu and the guzheng will be played.

The concert is on Sunday Feb. 10, 4 p.m., at Symphony Hall, with tickets starting at $20.
