Re:Imagine colours of the past

Overview

Description

Saxophone has been highly regarded as one of the most versatile musical instruments. If the possibility of what could be expressed through one saxophone is endless, imagine fourteen. For the love of saxophone, this summer we put together a very exciting programme. Giving new colours to the familiar sound of symphonic repertoire, we invite you to reimagine with us what classical music would be like in the world of saxophones.

 

Together with some of the most prominent saxophonists in Hong Kong, percussionist from THE UP:STRIKE PROJECT, Ms Nancy Loo and Video Artist MOON.NOON, we present to you a feast of auditory and visual surprise.

 

Programme:
Dimitri SHOSTAKOVICH | Festive Overture Op.96
Richard WAGNER | Elsa’s Procession to the Cathedral 
George GERSHWIN | Rhapsody in Blue
Igor STRAVINSKY | The Rite of Spring
