EVENT DESCRIPTION
The HK Phil’s iconic free annual outdoor music extravaganza returns! Under the baton of composer-conductor Tan Dun, this year’s nature-inspired programme brims with animal imagery, vivid colours and dazzling virtuosity. HK Phil principals George Lomdaridze and Richard Bamping take the spotlight as the Wolf and the Swan, while two young rising artists on the international stage — violinist Angela Chan and percussionist Lin Zhe — bring to life the song of the lark and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The evening culminates in the resounding cannon blasts of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, accompanied by spectacular fireworks on the harbourfront – a night of music and celebration for family and friends not to be missed!
The outdoor concert will be live streamed on the HK Phil website, Facebook page and Youtube channel, the SwireThrive and Swire Pacific Facebook pages, as well as CCTV.COM.
The concert runs approximately 1 hour 30 minutes without an intermission.
