Nara
A brand new chamber opera from Tze Yeung Ho, a stage full of performers from Norway and Hong Kong, an intriguing tale of an empress of the Qing dynasty, woven together by an exciting musical universe pulling inspiration from both Nordic and Chinese musical traditions.
Tai Kwun Prison Yard Festival: FUSE-IN by HKNME and PUMHKA
Running in counterpoint with this year’s featured juxtaposition of Vivaldi’s Venice with the neighbouring Ottoman empire is a cross-cultural look at Hindustani vocal stylings marked by virtuoso rhythmic interplay. The Hong Kong New Music Ensemble, following last season’s 100th birthday tribute to composer György Ligeti, joins forces with the Padmabhushan Ustad Mushtaq Husain Khan Association, Hong Kong’s premier Indian arts organisation, in presenting six short performances at Tai Kwun’s Laundry Steps. Three concerts feature Hong Kong-based father-and-son vocalists Ghulam Siraj and Mehdi Hasan as well as Najmi Khan, all esteemed practitioners of Rampur-Sahaswan Gharana, a vocal style tracing its lineage back 400 years to the reign of the Mogul emperor Akbar. Three additional concerts will pair Shehzad Khan, an accomplished Bollywood musical figure, with Indian instrumentalists and members of the HKNME to create a singular fusion of Indian, Chinese and Western Classical traditions.
