Hong Kong Artists" Series 2026: Saxophone Recital

About the show

A musical dialogue blending saxophone and piano, Charles Ng leads the audience through time and space with his agile playing—from the Western Regions' allure of 《陽光照耀在塔什庫爾干》 by 陳鋼, to the pastoral South of France in 莫利斯's 《普羅旺斯風情畫》; from the Asian premiere of 普賴因法克's 《糖衣苦果小交響曲》, to the dramatic tension of 斯韋爾茨's 《激變》; the bustling rhythms of 萊許's 《紐約對位》 and the South American breath of 法里亞斯's 《潘帕草原手記》, culminating in the world premiere of 《天穹構築》, co-created by 吳漢紳 and 鄺展維—a saxophone adventure that crosses cultural boundaries, blending tradition and contemporaneity. Presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, the "Hong Kong Artists" series this time spotlights local saxophonist 吳漢紳. Pianist 袁桉頤 joins him in performing this repertoire spanning classical, folk, and modern styles, from Asian premieres to world premieres, showcasing the saxophone's boundless potential as a solo instrument. Ideal for listeners interested in modern music, cross-cultural experimentation, or woodwind instruments, this is a sonic journey not to be missed.
