Led by Music Director Christoph Poppen, the Hong Kong Sinfonietta staged four performances at the Festival this year, including the Farewell Gala on August 2 (Marvao time) which marked the closing of the Festival. The performances also featured renowned musicians from Hong Kong, including harmonica virtuoso and composer Cy Leo, jazz pianist Daniel Chu, as well as composer-performer Alice Yeung, showcasing the talent of Hong Kong's young musicians to around 2 000 international audience members attending the Festival.
The Deputy Representative of the Brussels ETO, Mr Kasper Ng, attended the Farewell Gala and the reception to showcase Brussels ETO's support to the orchestra, and promote the vibrant arts and cultural scene of Hong Kong as the event capital of Asia with world-class festivals and cultural celebrations.
The Marvao International Music Festival is one of Europe's leading classical music festivals, and is held in the medieval hilltop town of Marvao. Hong Kong Sinfonietta's participation this year marks the orchestra's fourth time participating in this internationally acclaimed Festival, further strengthening cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and Portugal as well as the rest of Europe, and demonstrating the high-calibre quality and diversity of Hong Kong's musical talent.
