For the latest performance in our Tea House Chamber Music Series, the musicians of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra present two works that explore the expressive and emotive power of the string quartet.
Bridging the past and the present, the performance celebrates the enduring musical legacy of Beethoven – one of the most prominent figures in the history of European classical music – and the innovative creative prowess of award-winning young Hong Kong composer Elliot Leung.
The featured works are Beethoven’s intricate and influential String Quartet in C-sharp minor, Op.131, the composer’s personal favourite quartet and one widely regarded as a late masterpiece, and Leung’s first String Quartet, a five-movement work reflecting the moods and qualities of cities and landmarks around the world.
This programme is co-presented by WestK and the HK Phil.
