One of Hong Kong’s flagship orchestras, Hong Kong Sinfonietta has achieved significant local and international recognition for its passionate performances and innovative programming.
The orchestra performs year-round with around 100 performances a season, presenting not only standard orchestral repertoire but premieres of works by living composers, having commissioned over 90 new works.
Since 1999, it has worked with leading international musicians and groups, including in recent years Nicolas Altstaedt, Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, Vilde Frang, James MacMillan, Jean-Guihen Queyras, Fazıl Say, The Royal Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, and Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch.
Breaking down barriers between music and the general audience, Hong Kong Sinfonietta holds specially-designed concert series for different audiences and age groups, including Good Music for Babies/Kids, Know Your Classical Music, Short-cut to Classical Music andHKS McDull Music Project. It has also produced successful cross-genre productions such as A Soldier’s Story, The Passage Beyond in Concert and Pica Pica Choose, which brought together dance, theatre and music to wide critical acclaim.
