Old meets New; East meets West. Experience musical worlds fuse at Music Interflow.

Opening Hong Kong Arts Development Council (HKADC)’s Hong Kong Music Series in London is the Music Interflow — a Dialogue of Two Cultures organised by Musica Viva. The theme of the concert emphasises the complementary and contrasting nature of the repertoire, which represents both Chinese and British cultural heritage. It brings together both well-established and also emerging talents from Hong Kong’s musicians.

This brilliant display of virtuosity offers a selection of classical and contemporary works written for ancient and traditional Chinese instruments, including both British and Hong Kong pieces, performed by highly accomplished and cross-cultural musicians well-versed in both eastern and western traditions. The concert ends with an ensemble work inspired by the poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Musica Viva, a music organisation supported by the HKADC under its grants award system, curates a perfect introduction to Hong Kong Music Series, which also marks the close relationship between Hong Kong and British citizens.
