Online concert “FLOW: Notes between Hong Kong and Singapore”

January 8, 2021

The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) in Singapore kicked off the New Year with an online concert which connected six musicians from Hong Kong and Singapore in times when international travel has yet to resume. It was also the first Hong Kong-Singapore online collaboration presented by the HKETO.

The concert received overwhelming response from audience in Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam and other countries in the ASEAN region. The hour-long performances featured original compositions by the passionate musicians, namely (from Hong Kong) international harmonica virtuoso CY Leo, seasoned saxophonist Timothy Sun and renowned young pianist Joyce Cheung, as well as (from Singapore) top jazz pianist and organist Chock Korong, talented drummer Aaron James Lee and up-and-coming bassist Benjamin Poh. A video exclusively produced for the concert by artistes of both cities was also featured. The concert concluded with an online dialogue among the artistes and with the audience.

The COVID-19 pandemic might have grounded concert tour of musicians, but the power of music can bridge borders. The HKETO will continue to showcase Hong Kong's arts and cultural talents to regional audience and promote their cultural exchange with regional counterparts.

The online concert was presented by the HKETO, and produced by Global Cultural Alliance (Singapore) in collaboration with Music Lab (Hong Kong).
