Music About China – A Dialogue between the Bianzhong and the Organ Information

Music About China is a signature series of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, first appearing in 2007 as a joint initiative between the Orchestra and the Hong Kong Arts Festival. The platform premieres new works by composers from Greater China and overseas to promote Chinese culture and perpetuate Chinese music. This year, the focus is on works for the Chinese bianzhong and the Western pipe organ. Written by Kuan Nai-chung, Wang I-yu, and Ng Cheuk-yin, the pieces present a dialogue between these majestic instrumental voices from the East and the West.
