****************************************************************************************
     The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, Sydney (Sydney ETO) is supporting the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra (HKCO) in its staging of three music concerts in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane to promote traditional Chinese music and showcase the music talent of Hong Kong.

     The HKCO started the Image China concert tour in Melbourne on December 19, followed by a performance in Sydney yesterday (December 21), with the last performance in Brisbane tomorrow (December 23). Nearly 80 outstanding musicians performed classical Chinese music repertoires including "The Silk Road Fantasia Suite", "Dream of the Red Chamber Suite" and "The Terra Cotta Warriors", presenting a grand feast of traditional Chinese music seamlessly blended with a modern touch.

     Speaking at the receptions in Melbourne and Sydney, the Director of the Sydney ETO, Miss Trista Lim, said, "It is always a priority of our office to promote arts and cultural exchanges with the local communities in Australia. To realise the positioning of Hong Kong as an East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchange under the National 14th Five-Year Plan, we are working proactively in assisting the touring of arts groups and delegations, whether they are travelling from Hong Kong to Australia or the other way round."

     Miss Lim also introduced to the guests the world-class cultural infrastructure in Hong Kong, notably the M+ museum, the Hong Kong Palace Museum and the Xiqu Centre in the West Kowloon Cultural District, as well as the cultural mega events to be held in Hong Kong including the inaugural Hong Kong Performing Arts Expo and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Culture and Arts Festival. She encouraged the participants to visit Hong Kong to experience its unique cultural vibrancy.

     Presented by the China Arts and Entertainment Group Ltd, the tour marks a momentous milestone of the return of the HKCO to Australia after 41 years.
