Playground by Ng Cheuk-yin

Commissioned and produced by the Hong Kong Arts Festival “No Limits”

Specially commissioned by HKAF, Playground features some of the finest music elements Hong Kong has to offer in an hour of new compositions by composer Ng Cheuk-yin. Conducted by Wilson Ng, this concert will feature the string section of True Colors Symphony, a Hong Kong based all-inclusive orchestra that has diversity as its motto, and welcomes musicians with and without disabilities, members of ethnic minority groups, deaf musicians and senior citizens. They will be joined by jazz musicians and players of Chinese and ethnic instruments, showcasing the multifaceted music scene of Hong Kong. This performance aims to reflect the many faces of this city in all its richness and diversity. As its name suggests, Playground is intended to be a playful space and it is sure to be enjoyed just as much by the audiences as the musicians involved. As a bonus, there will be a 20-minute tribute to jazz icon Ray Charles as part of the performance!
