The Journey to
Harmony Concert

The Journey to Harmony is the first of the two finale concerts in World in Harmony – Music without Borders, bringing together KLASSIK underground, formed by musicians of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, and Hong Kong Chinese instrumentalists following a year-long artistic exchange. Western repertoire is reworked through Chinese instruments: a traditional dizi solo is set in dialogue with the clarinet solo from 梅湘's 《時間終結四重奏》; Vivaldi's Mandolin Concerto is performed on liuqin; and Brahms' Clarinet Quartet is reinterpreted on sheng. Hong Kong composer Luk Wai Chun's contemporary writing links the different cultures, eras and traditions. The concert takes place at Prison Yard, Tai Kwun. Standard admission is HK$380. Tickets are available at art-mate.net; concessionary tickets offer up to 40% off, and package discounts are also available.
