HKCO : Spring River & Ambush 《香港中樂團 : 春江．十面》

HKCO : Spring River & Ambush香港中樂團 《春江．十面》A musical feast of beloved classicsAn impassioned journey through time under the baton of Yan Huichang, Artistic Director and Principal Conductor for Life, the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra presents five classic compositions that light up the stage in a melodic unfolding and a musical feast.  Song of the General opens the performance with lively scenes that embody the vibrancy of traditional Chinese opera.  Moonlight on the Spring River evokes glorious moments and poetic scenery that unlock the audience’s senses, leading them into a realm of sprightly images in The Insect World, the modern classic by Doming Lam, performed with recitation by the three Lung siblings, grandchildren of Lam.  The HKCO Concertmaster Zhang Chongxue performs The Butterfly Lovers that pulls at the audience’s heartstrings, while Ambush from All Sides brings the concert to an intensely evocative close.  The programme of beautiful tunes and familiar folk music spans Eastern and Western musical styles from different eras, as it spotlights the HKCO as a pioneer in both innovating and passing on the artistic legacy of Chinese music.PROGRAMMESong of the General　 Ancient Melody　Arr. by Peng XiuwenMoonlight on the Spring River Ancient Melody　Arr. by Peng XiuwenThe Insect World　 Doming Lam1.
