"They sounded radiant" South China Morning Post Favourites from an amazing eight years of putting Chinese music on the edge Music | Hong Kong The Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra (HKCO) hallmark programme at the Hong Kong Arts Festival for the last eight years, Music about China, has won the heart of many. Last season, the HKCO organised a popularity poll by asking music fans, the media and colleagues in the field to pick their favourite from the works featured in the series since its launch. A list of the Top Ten scores has come out, and six of them will be performed at Music about China IX, featuring once again Clarence Mak and star ascendant of the zhongruan, Clara Tan, who won the heart of all last year on the same stage. The programme of favourites from eight years of putting Chinese music on the edge promises to be as riveting as it is visionary – why not revisit with us?
