This November, celebrate the diversity of the Hong Kong jazz scene with local giants and up-and-coming artists at the Freespace Jazz Fest, which is set to take place at the West Kowloon Cultural District. Highlight ticketed events include Ted Lo and Eugene Pao—an evening of fusion, classics, and original compositions by acclaimed jazz greats Pao and Lo; Angelita Li and the Patrick Lui Jazz Orchestra, with songs and stories honouring the life and legacy of the US jazz diva Billie Holiday performed by Li and the orchestra; and the experimental collaboration Jazz Imaginarium—a unique, multisensory immersive experience with jazz musicians and visual artists creating a black box installation with improvised sound and imagery. Tickets are on sale now.
Free events include the Experimental Jazz Lab—live and online jam sessions featuring interactive collaborations between artists from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Zurich, as well as indoor and outdoor live shows by local talent and bands performing different jazz genres in and around Freespace and the Art Park. Visitors can also enjoy a range of free arts events and workshops for all ages.
Covering the hottest new eats, the best places to play, offbeat takes on local culture, and so much more, Localiiz is every Hongkonger’s destination for how to live a well-rounded life in our vibrant city. Why the strange spelling? Well, Localiiz is designed to be your “local eyes”—and for that, you need two i’s.
