HKUST Arts for Fall 2024 -  “Classics” from the Classical Period 古典時期的經典

Hong Kong Chamber Orchestra is going to bring you an evening of profound musical mastery with three exquisite works from the Classical period! Mozart's "Overture to the Magic Flute" offers a captivating introduction to his opera, blending intricate melodies and harmonies that transport listeners to enchantment and fantasy. This piece exemplifies the elegance and precision that define Mozart's style. Beethoven's "Octet for Winds in E-flat Major, Op. 103" highlights his innovative approach to wind instrumentation, creating a rich dialogue among the musicians. It showcases Beethoven’s early experimentation with form and texture, providing a glimpse into his evolving genius. Haydn’s "Symphony No. 82 in C Major, 'L’Ours'" is a dynamic and spirited work renowned for its lively finale that evokes the imagery of a dancing bear. This symphony demonstrates Haydn’s mastery of orchestral color and ability to infuse humor into his compositions. Together, these pieces exemplify the clarity, balance, and form that define the Classical period, showcasing the brilliance of their composers and offering an inspiring and immersive journey through the classical repertoire.

Orchestra 樂團

The Hong Kong Chamber Orchestra was established in 1976 as a not-for-profit organization by a group of international musicians living in Hong Kong. Nowadays the players consist of professional musicians graduated from local and overseas music academies and universities, professional music teachers and experienced musicians. They all volunteer their time and effort to enhance the opportunities to engage in playing and listening to music in the local community.

香港室樂團是由一群居港的外籍音樂演奏者於一九七六年創立。 時至今日，樂團成員已包括本地和外國主修音樂演奏的專業樂手、專業音樂老師和有豐富經驗的樂手。 作為一個非牟利團體，樂團致力推動普及本地音樂文化。香港室樂團常在經費許可下舉辨小型免費音樂會; 在沒有票房壓力的情況下，樂手亦能演奏悦耳卻又不常接觸的曲目。
