Beating the way around the world

Abbos Kosimov, world famous master of the doira, the Uzbek hand drum, and winner of Best Hand Drum Performance at the 2001 World Hand Drum Concert, returns to Hong Kong to share the stage with the HKCO after an absence of eight years. He will be bringing his Abbos Percussion Group to launch the audience into the exotic world of Central Asia through Uzbek music and dance. Luk Kin-bun, Assistant Percussion Principal of the HKCO and active percussionist in Hong Kong, will be 'jamming' with them for a scintillating performance that crosses East-West divides and takes the audience’s heart by storm!
