Hong Kong Artists" Series 2026: Percussion Recital

About the show

Percussionist Elise Liu and friends take audiences on a sonic journey spanning tradition and the contemporary. From "Reflecting on the End of Things from a Distance" for marimba and electronics, to the percussion trio "Rain Tree"; from "The Goldsmith's Membrane" weaving percussion quartet with soprano, to "Time and Money" combining video and electronic sound—one concert, six works, exploring the limitless possibilities of percussion. The marimba solo "Hymn" and the percussion quartet "Thorn" bring this sonic experiment to a profound close. Curated by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, the "Hong Kong Artists" Series 2026 presents this recital featuring percussionist 廖智敏 alongside a circle of friends. The lineup includes percussionists 余林橞, 陳梓浩, 鄺敏蔚, and soprano 郭岍. The programme draws from contemporary composers, ranging from delicate marimba solos to intricate multi-instrumental configurations, from pure percussion to跨界 dialogues with voice, video, and electronic sound—ideal for audiences drawn to modern music, innovative percussion expression, or the experience of sound transforming in the air.
