     The outdoor concert "Music in Motion" featuring a crossover of electronic music, traditional instruments, contemporary dance and parkour will be staged this Sunday (November 4) from 3pm to 6pm at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Piazza. Members of the public are welcome to attend and admission is free.

     Participating performing groups and artists will include Rebearth (voice/electronics) x Ivanhoe Lam (choreography); Shane Aspegren (percussion/electronics) x Kung Chi-shing (electric violin/woodwind) x Hugh Cho (choreography); ReOrientate (live music/flamenco); and Olivier Cong (guitar/electronics) and Bou Kwan-ying (guzheng).

     The performance of Rebearth and dancers will showcase a unique style that fuses original electronic dance music with contemporary dance. ReOrientate, a Hong Kong-based collective of international award-winning artists, will combine technology and traditional arts in a quasi-scientific approach in their music and flamenco performance. Local singer-songwriter Olivier Cong will make an experimental quest to expand his musical expression with the playing techniques and timbre of the guzheng in the performance with guzheng musician Bou Kwan-ying.

     In addition, Hong Kong-based artist Shane Aspegren will collaborate with composer Kung Chi-shing and dancers to give a performance featuring parkour with intense physical movements accompanied by explosive music. Radio DJ Wong Kwun-bun will be the emcee of the concert. 

     "Music in Motion", an outdoor programme in support of the New Vision Arts Festival, is presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. For details, please visit the website at www.lcsd.gov.hk/en/eo/territoryevents/theaticartsfestival/nav2018.html.
