HK PHIL x HKU MUSE: YU LONG | FAURÉ REQUIEM

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Programme
CHOPIN | Grande Polonaise Brillante
CHEN Qigang | Un Temps Disparu
FAURÉ | Requiem
Still waters run deep. Gabriel Fauré was a quiet man, and there’s no anger or fury in his haunting Requiem — just some of the loveliest choral music ever written. But it can’t conceal a world of heartfelt emotion. It’ll make a perfect contrast to the glittering romance of Chopin, played by the award-winning Zee Zee, and Chen Qigang’s modern masterpiece: a profoundly poetic meeting of Eastern and Western musical traditions.

The concert runs approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes with an intermission.
