Programme

Mozart

Piano Concerto No 20 in D minor, K466: I Allegro ^
Grieg

Piano Concerto in A minor, Op 16 #
Chopin

Piano Concerto No 1 in E minor, Op 11 *

The piano – one of the most iconic, versatile and popular classical instruments of all time – exudes a timeless allure which has attracted a wealth of repertoire written for it by generations of master composers. It is also one of the most exciting protagonists you will find on the concerto platform, as its harmonic possibilities and sheer power make it a more-than-worthy opponent of a whole symphony orchestra. In this concert, Hong Kong Sinfonietta and Music Director Emeritus Yip Wing-sie will be joined by Hong Kong’s very own Chopin Competition prizewinner Colleen Lee, who will perform Chopin’s exquisite Piano Concerto No 1 and share with the audience her insights into piano-playing. The young winners of “Auditions On Stage – Piano” in 2025 – Lin Jia-hong Ericsson and Lo Sum-yau – will play the well-loved piano concertos of Grieg and Mozart, putting a pianist’s artistic journey on full display.

About Our Series

The APPRECIATE concerts are, mainly, classical concerts featuring guest artists and conductors of world renown.  Apart from performing orchestral masterpieces, Hong Kong Sinfonietta regularly commissions new works and introduces to audiences works that are rarely heard in Hong Kong.

Music is good for everyone! The LEARN series takes audiences aged 0 to 88 into the world of classical music through specially designed concert series including Good Music for Babies, Good Music for Kids, Short-cut to Classical Music, Know Your Classical Music and HKS McDull Music Project.

In the light-hearted RELAX concerts, Hong Kong Sinfonietta shares with audiences great music ranging from orchestral favourites to music from movies and musicals.

The ENCOUNTER series offers unique opportunities for audiences to get close to the music and the performers through chamber music concerts, talks, often at unconventional venues or time. These include Good Music This Lunch, Good Music @ The Fringe, Beyond Good Music @ The Fringe, HKS ArtisTree Residency and UpClose Encounters.

Often referred to as “one of the world’s great small orchestras”, Hong Kong Sinfonietta has been invited to go on many TOURS in Europe, Asia, South and North Americas, sharing good music with audiences in over 30 cities.  In 2017/2018, the orchestra will make its début in Germany and perform at festivals in France, Portugal, as well as the Beethoven Easter Festival in Poland.

WHAT ELSE?  Apart from classical concerts, Hong Kong Sinfonietta regularly appears in staged productions by Hong Kong Ballet, Opera Hong Kong and visiting arts groups such as The Royal Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Bolshoi Ballet and Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch. This season, Hong Kong Sinfonietta will also host the 1st International Conducting Competition.
