Hong Kong Youth Chinese Orchestra to showcase vivid Chinese pieces
******************************************************************
The concert will be conducted by Music Office Chief Music Officer Mr Tsui Ying-fai and instructor Mr Kwok Kin-ming. The concert's exhilarating programme opens with the powerful and rhythmic "Chinoiserie", and includes "Chant on Strings", featuring the young erhu soloist Li Hang-tsun with the HKYCO, expressing admiration for Chinese culture. The HKYCO will also perform "The Burning Phoenix", which was commissioned by the Music Office and created by Mr Kuan Nai-chung to portray the spirit of resilience and perseverance; and the world premiere of "Les orbites éternelles", which was composed by local composer Wong Ching-yin. The concert's finale, "Hymn to the Sun", depicts the scenery of Sichuan with ethnic passion.
Established in 1978, the HKYCO has around 80 members aged under 25. The Orchestra frequently performs at various major local events. It also plays the role of music ambassador for Hong Kong and has toured extensively and received high acclaim.
