Under the baton of Music Director Emeritus Yip Wing-sie, he will also perform Robert Farnon’s Prelude and Dance – the epitome of harmonica virtuosity – in a colourful and celebratory programme which also highlights Ravel’s iconic Bolero, and culminates in Gershwin’s exuberant symphonic masterpiece An American in Paris.
