All 18 districts of Hong Kong in soundscape


The Orchestra launched the Cadenzas of Hong Kong Project in 2006 in celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra. Activities included taking field trips, organizing workshops for composers and commissioning new works. Twenty Hong Kong composers were invited by the Orchestra to write new works that should illustrate how they are inspired by the individual character and life of the 18 districts of Hong Kong. Some of their works have been premiered in previous seasons, while the last, but not the least, will be premiered in this coming season. In this outdoor concert, the Orchestra will be playing all the commissioned works of Cadenzas of Hong Kong against the magnificent illuminations of the Victoria Harbour by night. It will be a musical and visual experience in a fairyland ambience, one you will never forget!
