Remark
Ensemble Concert

In the courtyard after the rain, the secluded orchid blooms in spring. Listen to the wonderful notes in the air, coming out of Chinese plucked strings and winds!


This concert features two virtuosi of the HKCO – Chen I-ling (xiaoruan, liuqin) and Wu Chih-ting (dizi, xiao) in an ingenious combination of crystalline sounds. Like fairies, they sprinkle sparkling notes in the balmy spring breeze, and lead the audience on a tour of flowering bushes after the rain.
