SAP Sinfonieorchester / Ray Chen

• Classical Music

Since its founding in 1997, the SAP Symphony Orchestra has evolved into a cultural and beneficial beacon of SAP SE known far beyond the Rhine-Neckar region. In addition to classical orchestral music, the ensemble has also devoted itself intensively to film music and symphonic rock arranged especially for the orchestra.

Highlights of the collaboration with international artists were the concerts with Rolando Villazon in 2012, with star pianist Lang Lang in 2022 and with Anastacia in 2024. This will now be followed by a collaboration with another exceptional artist – Ray Chen.

With a global reach that enhances and inspires a new classical audience, Ray Chen’s remarkable musicianship transmits to millions around the world, reflected through his engagements both online and with the foremost orchestras and concert halls around the world. Beyond the performing arts, his work has also contributed to philanthropy, popular culture and educational technology.
