Hong Kong Sinfonietta started its “Tiny Galaxy” chamber concert series in 2020, during covid. Inspired by the hidden gems of Hong Kong, the first filmed series of “Tiny Galaxy” concerts took place in an eclectic youth hostel in Shamshuipo called “Wontonmeen”. Curated by Concertmaster James Cuddeford, 11 episodes of “Tiny Galaxy Concerts @ Wontonmeen”, featuring local and international musicians, are now shown on the HKS YouTube channel. The first of the “Tiny Galaxy” films, called “All-Star Tiny Galaxy @ Wontonmeen” made its world premiere as the closing film of the Life is Art Film Festival in 2021, at MOViE MOViE Cityplaza. Two years on, our 2nd “Tiny Galaxy” film is ready, and made its world première at the 2023 Life is Art Film Festival. It is set inside the magnificent Haw Par Mansion – a Grade I Historic Building from 1930’s Hong Kong. With a mixture of works all hand-picked for the space and acoustics, the film boasts 14 works played by different instruments, featuring Bach to the very contemporary… and James as a guide, taking you around the residence, to the most unexpected corners! Definitely not for the unadventurous, we invite you to join us on this special musical journey!
