Music Director/Conductor Yip Wing-sie Clarinet Paul Meyer French clarinet master Paul Meyer has charmed the world with his delicacy and flawless virtuosity. He has performed with leading orchestras such as Orchestre National de France, BBC Philharmonic and Los Angeles Philharmonic and has recorded over 40 albums with major labels (DGG, Sony, EMI and more), winning numerous prizes including Diapason d’Or, CHOC du Monde de la Musique, ramophone and Grammy awards. Under the baton of Yip Wing-sie, Meyer will collaborate with Hong Kong Sinfonietta in two of the most significant pieces in the clarinet repertoire. Written by the great French Impressionist composer Debussy, Première Rhapsodie brings out the mellow and lyrical tone of the clarinet; whereas the rarely-heard Clarinet Concerto, the last orchestral work composed by Nielsen, is also one of the most challenging and most-loved pieces for clarinettists.
