Programme Title

Sheung Wan Civic Centre Venue Partnership Scheme: KJ Wong Piano Recital: The Five Elements

Description

The Five Elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—embody the ancient imagination of the universe, while music is its fluid state. In this 70-minute recital, pianist KJ Wong deconstructs ten carefully selected pieces across different eras to weave the Eastern philosophy of Yin and Yang into sound.



The journey begins with “Earth,” using the meticulously structured works of Scarlatti and Bach to build a solid foundation. It then transitions to “Metal,” where Pierre Boulez’s rigorous Douze Notations showcases the element’s sleek malleability. The music flows into “Water,” intertwining Ryuichi Sakamoto’s poignant Aqua with the dappled light of Debussy’s Reflets dans l’eau. Next, “Wood” blossoms with boundless vitality through the Eastern melodies of Teng Yu-hsien’s Bāng Chhun-hong (Spring Breeze) and the deeply affectionate The Butterfly Lovers. Finally, Liszt and Scriabin’s Vers la flamme ignite a blazing “Fire,” pushing the piano’s explosive energy to its absolute limit.

More than a collision of Eastern wisdom and Western artistry, this 60-minute musical experiment invites the audience to experience the cycle of creation and the eternal motion of the universe through the keys of the piano.
