Case Scaglione brings an intriguing programme to Swire Denim Series, starting with stately baroque dances and taking us on a journey to the 20th century. Ligeti’s Violin Concerto is counted one of the most adventurous modern pieces, but its heart is Baroque. To lead us into this sound world, Case has devised a classic Denim adventure!

CHAPLINGold Rush (Live music with images)

Following our 2013 success with City Lights, Charlie Chaplin returns to Hong Kong with his hilarious film Gold Rush. Chaplin plays the beloved tramp, this time chasing his fortune in snowbound gold country. Hilarious scenes ensue – like when the starving tramp boils and eats his own leather boot!

Party tickets are sold in the foyer at our concert at $80, first-come, first-served. Let our music jolt your weekend into high gear!
