Music

The Intimacy of Creativity (IC) and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology present a five-season retrospective of dynamic and engaging chamber music compositions and music-making in this very special performance featuring principal members of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, joined by previous and new IC guest artists. This concert revisits works by emerging Composer Fellows from all previous seasons, alongside the Asian premiere of the chamber ensemble version of Deep Red by Artistic Director Bright Sheng, which features Plus Cheung, marimba soloist star. As with each season, IC reflects upon the work of standard repertoire composers. The programme concludes with Sheng conducting the string orchestra version of Schoenberg’s heart-wrenching work, Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night), based on a poem by Richard Dehmel, of devotion, hope and redemption through love. This concert is not to be missed!
