EVENT DESCRIPTION

It’s nearly 2022 – and here at the HK Phil, we’re cracking open a bottle of musical champagne and serving up a sonic celebration banquet! We’ve got Viennese waltzes and sparkling polkas, stirring marches and beautiful love-songs. There’s Spanish passion, French elegance, British pageantry and of course a generous selection of Hong Kong favourites too. It’s all there for you to enjoy, stunningly performed by Principal Guest Conductor Yu Long and the HK Phil, plus our special guests – two of Hong Kong’s very finest vocalists, Yuki Ip and Samantha Chong, guitarist Xuefei Yang, and Yiwen Lu plays erhu. Join us, as we toast a new year with melodies that never get old.

Programme includes music by J. Strauss II, Saint-Saëns, Lehár, Ravel and others. This New Year’s concert promises to be a spectacular treat with Maestro Yu Long.

The concert runs approximately 1.5 hours with an intermission.
