Witness a captivating musical convergence as the HKGNA Music Festival 2024, presented by Hong Kong Generation Next Arts (HKGNA), unites the best of classical, Cantopop, and K-pop.
Kicking off the festival is a concert by double Grammy winner and world-renowned violinist James Ehnes, who will be joined by pianist Orion Weiss for a performance of Beethoven’s violin sonatas. Another must-see event is the Hong Kong debut of the Tianjin Juilliard Orchestra, featuring distinguished faculty members and Hong Kong’s rising young artists.
The festival’s crowning jewel is a historic collaboration between megastars Hins Cheung from Hong Kong and Sung Si-kyung from Korea. In a unique language exchange performance, the duo will bridge the worlds of Cantopop and K-pop, accompanied by acclaimed arranger Johnny Yim, the HKGNA Music Festival Youth Orchestra, and more.
Rounding out the line-up are captivating performances by HK Phil concertmaster Jing Wang, star soprano Louise Kwong, and the winners of the HKGNA International Music Competition. The festival will also showcase the talents of young guzheng performer Jiawen Chen and the Hong Kong Children’s Choir.
