Champions in Concert II
Mong Man Wai Mong Pui Yee Perlie Charitable Foundation proudly supports

Championing Crossover
It’s an evening of champs, where talents from far and wide come together to make music. At the helm is the young conductor, Xue Yuan, first-prize winner of the 2nd International Conducting Competition for Chinese Music. He will bring to the audience two amazingly different feasts. The programmes of the two concerts truly know no bounds, as they are taken from both the traditional and the modern/ contemporary repertoires. Zhao Jiping’s The Silk Road Fantasia Suite is a description of China’s exotic West, and features HKCO young virtuoso, Ma Wai Him, winner of the Silver Award in the Folk Instruments section at the 16th Osaka International Music Competition in Japan, and champion and representative of the Hong Kong region. Traces 5 is a musical depiction of four types of Chinese calligraphy written by Wen Deqing, a Chinese composer now based in Germany. The dynamic brush strokes will be transformed into musical notes on the erhu, performed by Lu Yiwen, winner of the Gold Award at the Erhu Competition which was part of the Chinese Golden Bell Awards for Music 2015. The two concerts promise to be a fine mix of music written by paragons of East and West, performed by talents who shine in supernova glory!
