Tuen Mun Town Hall | Musicus Fest 2025 - English Chamber Orchestra Harmonic Hour

Description

A 60-minute express journey to spread the joys of classical music

Hailed by Classical Public Radio as “one of the world’s greatest ‘living’ orchestras”, the English Chamber Orchestra (ECO) is here to perform a short and enticing concert that will introduce you to incredible music. The ECO is widely acclaimed on its UK and international tours, and renowned for its outreach programs that demystify classical music for new audiences. Don't miss this chance to savor their sublime playing, as heard on countless albums, as well as film soundtracks and at royal weddings.

Guided by your friendly host Franchesca Wong, Harmonic Hour is interspersed with conversations with the musicians and easy-to-follow demonstrations. Let Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony unleash your imagination in nature’s wonder, and discover the first ever known viola concerto, written by Telemann more than 300 years ago! Musicus is especially proud to feature its Young Artist Audition winner, Hoi Yan-lok, a rising Vienna-trained violist with consummate skills, as soloist of the concert.

Sit back and enjoy this dazzling musical journey, and try out various musical instruments at the “instrument petting zoo” beyond the concert hall.
