Xiqu Centre, West Kowloon | Xiqu Centre x HK Phil: Resonating Boundaries

Description

In an intricate space where Chinese and modern styles intertwine, witness a cross-cultural dialogue through the brass quintet.

In October, the HK Phil Brass Quintet takes the stage at the Tea House Theatre with a carefully curated programme featuring original and arranged brass quintet works by composers from around the world.

The selected repertoire showcases a diverse range of voices. Classic brass pieces meet innovative adaptations of Chinese melodies, spanning from vibrant and colourful passages to lyrical and delicate moments, as well as contemporary-styled tunes. The performance highlights the versatility and powerful expressiveness of the brass quintet.
