Venue: Hong Kong CIty Hall
A three-in-one concert of bold, experimental performances appealing to all kinds of musical taste. Fingerman, performed by the prodigal pianist KaJeng Wong, is an experimental piece for classical piano which explores the concept of God and takes every member of the audience on a journey of bewilderment and awe.
Beloved Clara, adapted from the 2008 film of the same name, tells the romantic life of pianist and composer Clara Schumann and her influence on Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms, through piano, violin and soprano.
Last but not least, SMASH is an enigmatic smashing together of pop, classical and jazz performed by pianist KaJeng Wong, harmonica player CY Leo and saxophonist Timothy Sun. The trio reshape audiences’ perceptions of famous tunes across eras and genres. Combining all-time classics and original compositions, SMASH is a rethinking of music boundaries.

The meaning of life and death has intrigued and inspired writers and philosophers throughout time. Music Lab, a local group dedicated to creative classical music awareness-raising, reflects on these eternal questions in an out-of-the-box concert 1314 in which pianist KaJeng Wong performs Liszt’s Piano Sonata in B minor to portray our inner struggle with the idea of death and a piece by young composer Hippocrates Cheng on the theme of life. Interactivity is provided by two dancers who will encourage the audience to move with the music. KaJeng will also share his views after the show.
