Conducted by Yan Huichang, Artistic Director and Principal Conductor for Life of Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, this concert presents five marvellous musical works to the Wuhan audience. The programme opens with The Chorale of Spring by Hong Kong composer Ng King-pan, followed by the suite Twelve Months by maestro Peng Xiuwen that captures the vitality of the seasons. A work by renowned contemporary composer Guo Wenjing, Three Melodies of West Yunnan portrays the lives of ethnic groups in Yunnan, while the music reveals an earthy beauty and a rigorous spirit. Pipa Principal Zhang Ying dazzles with her performance of Pipa Concerto No.2 by composer Zhao Jiping, which resounds with a delicate texture and vibrant notes of Suzhou pingtan. In The Sound of Water, the stirring guqin is an echo on Qintai, as the concert finale evokes the tremendous power of Wuhan waters.
