PAJ02 | The 4th Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Culture and Arts Festival: ChoreoMusica Soiree - A Hong Kong version of Xinghai Concert Hall's Chamber Music x Contemporary Dance production (Open Dress Rehearsal)
(Completed)


About the Programme 

Originated from the chamber music x modern dance production of Xinghai Concert Hall, where music and dance unite in a breathtaking cross-genre performance, the Hong Kong version features renowned cross-disciplinary artist Tsang Man-tung as artistic director, infusing the show with fresh creative energy.

Talented young musicians from the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra join forces with local dancers to bring you a mesmerizing performance.  The music features contrasting pieces from the Guangzhou version, such as Ravel's Sonata for Violin and Cello and Piazzolla's The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires.  This provides a dynamic backdrop for the dancers, who move fluidly with the music, sometimes becoming the protagonists of an artwork, while at other times appearing as observers, admiring the beauty of the pieces.  Music, dance, and imagery intertwine to create a rich audiovisual synergy, compelling the audience to feel within their hearts the combined resonance of each note and dance step.
