Four local and overseas jazz groups will perform in the "2018 Hong Kong International Jazz Festival - Outdoor Concert" at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Piazza on Sunday (October 7) from 3pm to 7pm, offering an afternoon of enjoyable free performances for members of the public.
 
     The concert line-up comprises Afternoon Tree, with members from Taiwan and Japan; Funktion from Thailand; local group Tjoe Man-cheung & The NTBM (Not-to-be-missed); and Hong Kong-based group Alonso Gonzalez Latin Jazz Quintet.
 
     Afternoon Tree’s music style combines jazz, folk rhyme and classical music. The use of traditional instruments such as erhu and violin also adds new elements to the group's performances, offering jazz lovers imaginative and original music. In addition, the five energetic members of Funktion will charm the audience with jazz fusion. NTBM, led by local guitarist and composer Tjoe Man-cheung, will perform contemporary metro jazz while Alonso Gonzalez Latin Jazz Quintet will bring refreshing jazz with Latin rhythms to the stage.
 
     The outdoor concert is presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department in association with the Hong Kong Jazz Association. For programme enquiries, please visit the website:
