The Hong Kong Youth Symphony Orchestra (HKYSO) of the Music Office (MO) under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department will hold its annual concert entitled "Dance of Fate" at 3pm on January 19 (Sunday) next year at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Concert Hall.
The concert will be conducted by the Chief Music Officer of the MO, Tsui Ying-fai, and instructors of the MO Lee Sing-wan and Dr Joseph Kam. Four young musicians from the School of Music of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, namely Ernest Chan (oboe), Aphichat Dechasophon (bassoon), Jason Fung (violin) and Trevor Chan (cello), will join hands with the HKYSO to perform Haydn's "Sinfonia Concertante in B-flat major".
The repertoire will also include Chinese composer Shi Wanchun's "Festival Overture", a music piece expressing his sincere feelings towards the motherland; "Namouna Suite d'Orchestre No. 1", by Lalo, a prominent French composer of the Romantic era; and "Symphony No. 5 in C minor, 'Fate'", a Beethoven classic.
Established in 1978, the HKYSO comprises members aged between 12 and 25. Over the years, it has nurtured many eminent local performers and music educators. The HKYSO has also played the role of a music ambassador for Hong Kong and has participated in concert tours to France, Israel, Cyprus, the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, Singapore and the Mainland.
