“The Power of Music” Series: Calming Melodies – Guqin Recital by Sou Si-tai

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.

The performance will run for about 1 hour and 15 minutes without intermission. 

Audience is strongly advised to arrive punctually.  Latecomers will only be admitted at a suitable break.

The programme does not represent the views of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.  The presenter reserves the right to change the programme and substitute artists.
