HK Phil x Tai Kwun: Chamber Music Series 2020

Following the success of the newly launched “HK Phil x Tai Kwun: Chamber Music Series” in 2019, the HK Phil continues with a series of six fantastic chamber music concerts presenting renowned pianist Warren Lee, Tai Kwun Director Timothy Calnin and nearly 30 HK Phil musicians. The repertoire ranges from the 19^th century Classical period to the contemporary era, featuring ensembles that comprise strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion in various combinations, as well as works with piano. As 2020 marks the 250^thanniversary of Beethoven’s birth, two programmes pay homage to this great composer and include such pieces as the monumental Grosse Fuge and his intimate Moonlight sonata.
