Meet the Artists

It’s a cultural phenomenon: traditional Chinese instruments placed in a Western orchestral configuration. The Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra is one of the most famous of these groups, known for performing everything from folk music to newly commissioned classical works.

The Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra will be providing each concertgoer with a complimentary hand drum, so there will be some audience participation in Cheng Dazhao’s The Yellow River Capriccio.
