Cy Leo says:
“My first collaboration in 2024 with Hong Kong Sinfonietta was undoubtedly one of the most memorable performances of my music career. With the chromatic harmonica being a latecomer in classical music history, it takes courage and openness to explore possibilities, especially when it comes to sharing the stage with an orchestra. As a lover of the chromatic harmonica, I am grateful for every opportunity to delve into the infinite colours and beauty that it can contribute to the rich culture of the classical music tradition. May the 2026/2027 season, in which I join Hong Kong Sinfonietta as Artist Associate, be a year filled with surprises and joy!”
