Heritage is not merely repeating the classics but finding new voices. This year’s programme adds a twist, featuring Peng Xiuwen’s Hong Kong - The City that Never Sleeps, Ng King-pan’s Impossible Medley, Bai Haoyu’s Rainy Night Flower and Black Galloping Horse and a new arrangement of Ambush on All Sides, along with the grand finale Tang Resonating. These selections mark a bold endeavour by the Hong Kong Young Chinese Orchestra as it preserves tradition while challenging the ensemble’s expressive capabilities.


Continuing its own tradition, the ensemble collaborates with composers from “Music from the Heart”. This year, Ken Sham Yiu-chung weaves familiar melodies with vibrant imagination and skillful orchestration that will surely delight the audience at first hearing.
