Orchestral Spotlights: Cello

The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (HK Phil) in collaboration with HKU MUSE presents a chamber music series spotlighting different sections of the orchestra. This programme features the HK Phil Cello Section, and opens with Dvořák’s Rondo followed by the Prelude to Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde. The remainder of the programme is as diverse as it is exciting, with music ranging from a Bach Cello Suite movement (arranged for cello ensemble) to the world premiere of Two Miniatures by HKU composer Austin Leung.

Along the way are rare pieces by the 18th century French composer Barrière, the 19th century German cellist Klengel, the great 20th century Argentinean tango composer Piazzolla, and the 21st century American educator and composer Marsha Shapiro. Come experience an exhilarating concert showcasing some amazing cello music!
