Description
Ode to Water was a multimedia production created in 2012 as the opening concert for the 35th season of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra. Its success led to this re-run on the occasion of the HKCO’s 40th anniversary. The audience will experience once again a marvel that is 100% ‘made in Hong Kong’ where creativity knows no bounds. With Yan Huichang at the helm as curator and famous Hong Kong composer Mui Kwong-chiu taking up the multiple role as composer, dramaturge and video-director, the show blends Chinese music, videography, dance, live calligraphy, Chinese poetry, recitation and installation art with Chinese traditional theatre, Western opera and modern cinematography. It will turn the concert hall into an idyllic, animated Chinese painting, complete with jagged peaks piercing through seas of clouds and the sun’s glow glimmering on rivers and seas on the bounteous land called ‘China’. The HKCO’s forty years of music-making is also encapsulated in this audio-visual feast!
