The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Perry So invites you to the spectacular annual concert “Swire Symphony Under The Stars” on Friday 9 November 2012. What better place to hold the concert other than the outdoor New Central Harbourfront which overlooks the famous skyline of Hong Kong where you will be completely surrounded by the city’s bright lights and urban sounds. The concert promises to be a memorable and atypical from your usual classical concert.
With a program that essentially covers most musical periods, the night brings you pieces from Handel, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Smetana and Rimsky-Korsakov. The orchestra will then jazz up your night with numbers from American greats such as Bernstein, Gershwin and Adams, an exciting and modern spin to the evening. In other words, there is something for everyone.
If you are feeling extra musical, the orchestra is inviting you to bring along your own instruments and participate in Mozart’s Toy Symphony. Regardless of your grade, ability and age, the performance is sure to get everyone involved and interacting with one another.
The concert starts at 7:30pm but gates will open from 5:30pm onwards so be sure to get there early for a decent view of the stage.
Free tickets can be picked up from Tom Lee outlets upon submitting a brief form. Children under the age of 3 go free.
