Quaint tunes of South China

Description

Description

The Cantonese music series, ‘There’s a Song in My Heart’, is a perennial favourite among Cantonese music lovers, having maintained a sold-out record year after year. Curated by Wong Lok Ting, Huqin Co-Principal and Gaohu Principal of the HKCO who was born and trained in Hong Kong, this upcoming concert features classics in the Cantonese music repertoire, such as Birds Returning to the Woods and Village Children for gaohu solo and Desolate Petals on the Guileless Water for yehu solo. Yuen Shi Chun, Research & Development Officer (Musical Instrument) of the HKCO, will perform as lead player on the silk-string seven-lu qinqin, which he has successfully revived from ancient models. He will also perform with Wong Lok Ting in a yehu duet Lovers’ Sorrow and Jingling Bells of the Hungry Horse. Quaint Tunes of South China for small ensemble will be conducted by Lo Wai Leung, Guan Principal and a charismatic performer himself, as he re-energizes the piece with his crisp and animated conducting. There will be a multimedia backdrop by Water Poon to enhance the pastoral, picturesque charm as suggested by the concert title.
