Chamber Youth Concert 2022: "LX Minutes Around the World"

Date: 07/08/2022

  • Chamber Youth Concert 2022: "LX Minutes Around the World" was successfully held on August 7 at 6:30 pm in the Recital Hall of HKCC's West Kowloon Centre. This year, guided by conductor Vivian Ip and guest accompanist Dominic Lam, the members of Chamber Youth performed thirteen classical and contemporary pieces rooted in Eastern and Western cultures. With the theme of "Around the World", the group took the audience on a one-hour musical journey, travelling to Italy, England, the United States and Hong Kong.

     

    The Chamber Youth opened the concert with two madrigals, the Italian Ecco mormorar l'onde and English Fyre, fyer!, and continued with contemporary and local music pieces, including the Latvian folk song Kalējs kala debesīs and Cantonese work Black composed by the homegrown composer Austin Yip. Dream Land, composed by Chamber Youth member Joanne Chan, made its world premiere in the performance, too. The concert concluded with Broadway musical classics Try to Remember and For Good, followed by an encore of Homura, theme song of the Japanese animation Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train.
