　　The "Our Music Talents" Series will introduce three promising talents in the local music scene. Young pianist Charles Tam will showcase his mature and exceptional technique in a selection of works by renowned composers including Boulanger, Godowsky, Albéniz, and Liszt. Saxophonist Chemie Ching will present a variety of contemporary classical pieces to let audiences experience the versatility of the saxophone as well as her personal interpretation style. Apart from performing solo pieces of her own composition and adaptation, yangqin artist Yanki Ma will collaborate with Chinese and Western musicians to explore the boundaries between Chinese and Western music. The programme includes various folk music, contemporary works and traditional Cantonese music.
 
　　Meanwhile, three renowned guzheng virtuosos will demonstrate the rich and expressive character of guzheng in the recitals under the "City Hall Virtuosi" Series. In the recital by Xu Lingzi and Ng hiu-hung, the two masters will perform traditional solo and duet pieces and debut an original composition to showcase their superb skills. Wan Xing, who has a taste for cross-disciplinary creations, will not only perform classical pieces but also collaborate with various talents and combine the performance with dongxiao, flute, harp and electronic music, presenting audiences with a refreshing recital in contemporary style.
