HKartsFestival@TaiKwun 2022
Two prominent figures in Hong Kong harmonica turned up at the online concert’s production meeting. As everyone was anticipating some input from the director, he asked about the harmonica development in Hong Kong during the 70s. With Mr. Fung On taking the baton, Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong Harmonica Orchestra was gradually developed into a professional performing group. Hong Kong harmonicists Yeung Yuet-bor and Ho Kit-Fun, Lee Sheung-Chin and Ho Wai-Kit have all won at international harmonica competitions. Lee Sheung-Chin has devoted himself in promoting the harmonica through education and has successfully nurtured a new generation of harmonica talents in Hong Kong.
Guests:
Dr Ho Leung-sing
Executive Director, Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong Harmonica Orchestra
