The first Back On Stage was recorded live in June 2020 during the closure of Hong Kong City Hall Concert Hall due to COVID. It features the strings section of Hong Kong Sinfonietta, led by Concertmaster James Cuddeford and conducted by Music Director Emeritus Yip Wing-sie. The film was made as a special tribute to Hong Kong, to spread a message of healing and love through music.

The concert presents four works that represent the best of strings-only music from four centuries. It includes the rarely performed genius work Battalia by 17th-century Austrian composer Biber and Summer from Vivaldi’s all-time favourite, The Four Seasons. The programme, chosen for its high spirits and energy, delivers one hour of music with colourful juxtapositions, an introduction by Yip Wing-sie and James Cuddeford, and additional behind-the-scene footages.

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.
