An annual showcase of the latest in modern Chinese orchestral music
"… the sound they produce is out of this world." The Guardian
An annual gala event that has garnered critical acclaim since its launch in 2007 and enjoyed full-house reception spilling over to standing tickets in recent years, Music About China VI will present new works by Asian composers Quan Jihao, Jeffrey Ching, Ng Cheuk-yin, Lu Yun and Chew Hee-chiat, commissioned by the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra. The audience can look forward to another feast of contemporary music performed by the HKCO, whose dynamic versatility has won for it the Asian Composers League award for The Most Outstanding Achievement in Advancing Asian Contemporary Music.
