Concert Cancellation and Ticket Arrangement: “Swire Denim Series: When Bright Sheng meets Mozart *” on 15 & 16 May 2020  

The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, Music Director Jaap van Zweden, our Board of Governors as well as the administration put the health and well-being of our audience, players and staff at the forefront of our priorities. Like most cultural organisations, we have made major adjustments to our regular activities in order to accommodate these exceptional circumstances. 

 

In view of the latest situation of COVID-19, the advertised performances of “Swire Denim Series: When Bright Sheng meets Mozart*" at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Concert Hall on 15 & 16 May 2020, 8pm, have been cancelled.  Ticket holders (except for patrons who purchased tickets from Klook, POPTICKET and ticketflap# ) to the cancelled concerts, please submit your preferred ticket arrangement on or before 30 June 2020

 

Since over 20 performances have recently been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant number of tickets are undergoing the refund procedure.

Arvo PÄRT “Salve Regina” for Chorus and Orchestra
Bright SHENGNanking! Nanking! for Pipa and OrchestraListen
MOZARTRequiemListen

 

A mysterious dark stranger apparently commissioned Mozart to write a Requiem, which ended up marking the composer’s own death.  The largely forgotten massacre of Nanking moved Bright Sheng to write his Pipa Concerto as a requiem for the 300,000 Chinese civilians slaughtered. But to celebrate the enduring power of faith, Arvo Pärt’s setting of an ancient Latin hymn marks the 1150th anniversary of the founding of the abbey in Essen, Germany.

 

Change of Programme *

“Swire Denim Series: Requiem: Mozart vs Salieri” is retitled to “Swire Denim Series: When Bright Sheng meets Mozart”. Requiem by Salieri will be changed to Arvo PÄRT’s "Salve Regina" for Chorus and Orchestra, and Bright SHENG’s Nanking! Nanking! for Pipa and Orchestra, other programme details remain unchanged. 

 

Ticket-holders may continue use their tickets for admission according to the date printed on the tickets for the updated programme. For ticketing assistance, please contact the HK Phil Ticketing Office from Monday to Friday (10:00-12:30, 14:00-18:00), excluding Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays, at 2721 0132 / 2721 2332 or [email protected].
