Co-created by the Hong Kong Performing Arts Expo and the National Arts Council of South Africa
Experience the musical journey between Hong Kong and South Africa without any boundary
It is a unique music journey created jointly with young musicians from South Africa and Hong Kong. This performance brings together young singer-songwriters and musicians from both places to perform their own songs. Music director Ng Cheuk-yin will also compose new works for this performance. In addition to their existing songs, they will also re-arrange their songs by each other and co-compose some new songs for this concert. Through the exchange of different cultural backgrounds and music styles between the two places, we can explore more possibilities in music and lead the audience to explore the world together.
