“The Power of Music” Series: Relaxing Melodies – Guzheng Recital by Chan Kwok-fai
Spearheaded by four seasoned virtuosi in Chinese music including Fung Tung (pipa), Chan Kwok-fai (guzheng), Sou Si-tai (guqin), and Tam Po-shek (dongxiao), “The Power of Music” Series will present four soul-purging concerts to kick start the new year. The four recitals are curated by Chan Chi-chun, Executive Director of the Centre for Chinese Music Studies of The Chinese University of Hong Kong. The programmes are threaded by a theme on nature. The audience is invited to travel through the seasons and landscape, far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and feel empowered by positive energies from the engaging melodies. Radio host Ken Yuen will give a brief introduction at the beginning of each recital and chat with the artists after their performances to gain insight into the culture and stories behind the pieces, thus giving the audience a glimpse into the beauty of Chinese music.
