Hong Kong City Hall, Central | A Leisure Time with Guitar Music Concert

Description

This concert has curated a special musical menu. Alongside ensemble and solo works, the performance also presents duets for "Flute and Guitar" and "Soprano and Guitar." Featuring masterpieces by Dowland, Giuliani, and Paganini, these intimate selections recreate the captivating charm of 19th-century European salons.

The solo repertoire includes Vals Venezolano No.3, the affectionate French chanson L’Hymne à l’amour, the poignant Tears in Heaven, and the playful Tango en skaï. Meanwhile, the ensemble selections journey from the Renaissance through Shostakovich’s melancholic Russian waltz and American ragtime, expanding into passionate South American and Mexican folk music. The program also highlights contemporary legends like Queen’s rock ballad and Joe Hisaishi's dreamlike Ghibli Suite.

We cordially invite you to leave behind the hustle of daily life and join us for a relaxing, delightful afternoon of music amid the flowing melodies of guitar strings.
