Time and space travelling

Full of verve, virtuosity and youthful energy, an HKCO 'task force' strikes! Are you ready to take off in a shuttle with them and travel freely in a musical cosmos? The HKCO Huqin Quartet will take you to the past to hear the ethnic 'wind-and-percussion' music of the Chinese common folks, or roam in the plethora of genres of the modern times – pop, jazz, Latin, ballads, themes from television and films, etc., etc., coming from the East and the West. The journey through past and future is mesmerizing as you see new vistas unfolding with animation and multimedia presentations in tandem with the music. It's a truly boundless realm, so come on board!
