A Parade of Hong Kong Fine Music Chamber Music Showcase II

Chamber music barely existed in Hong Kong a few years ago. But after the Hong Kong String Quartet was formed in 1995 things changed dramatically. Chamber music concerts now proliferate and this concert celebrates that with the finest groups being selected by organiser Wong Sze-hang for the occasion. At this showcase the HK Percussion Quartet Jenga performs 'Brazilian Myths' by Rosauro, the HK Chamber Choir performs 'Liebeslieder Walzer' by Brahms and CityBrass performs Uber's 'A Day At The Camptown Races'.

Tony Bennett + Diana Krall

Somehow, the magic of legendary vocalist Tony Bennett manages to transcend generations, as he attracts hordes of hip young concertgoers at the same time as appealing to their fathers. The man Frank Sinatra called the best singer in the business will perform two blockbuster nights at Chicago's favourite outdoor music park, accompanied by the Ralph Sharon Quartet. Also appearing is Grammy-winning jazz artist Diana Krall, whose combination of smoky vocals and cool blonde good looks ensure that she is poised to become a jazz superstar.
