A Voice Onstage, A Message Offstage.
Music Lab serves as a vital cultural force based in Hong Kong, delivering a diverse plethora of quality music programmes. As we emphasise originality, craft and class, Music Lab strives to maintain an integral voice onstage, a message offstage.
From 2016 to 2018 and since 2024, the annual Music Lab Festival has since expanded into the broader Atlas Project, which is now supported by the Year Grant from the Hong Kong Arts Development Council and the Arts Capacity Development Funding Scheme of the Hong Kong SAR Government.
Over the years, we have collaborated with emerging Hong Kong artists, Asian masters and international superstars. As we grew from an arts company of moderate capacity nurturing young artists, our artistic directors KaJeng Wong and CY Leo have evolved into acclaimed artists in their own rights, expanding Music Lab’s exposure and international reach.
In 2025, our Masters Series featuring jazz pianist Ted Lo, classical pianists Nancy Loo and Mary Wu brought huge success, while our creative partnership with artists of various genres including popstars Terrence Lam and Janice Vidal has garnered regional and international attention. In August 2025, we also presented the premiere concert of the Asian Modern Symphony Orchestra under conductor Wilson Ng, featuring stellar superstar Bruce Liu as soloist. The project will later feature in Seoul, as part of the Hong Kong Week project, supported by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council.
Looking ahead, Atlas Project foresees grander exposure and opportunities including KaJeng’s recital tour “Winter Fantasy” across Asia, and important exposure of our flagship Atlas Ensemble in Hong Kong and Shanghai MISA Festival with international artists Eric Lu, Kate Liu, Jiaxin Min and Magdelene Ho with our programme “Three Mozartiers”. Together with four legendary pianists from Hong Kong, Atlas Ensemble will also produce two evenings of complete Beethoven Piano Concertos in April 2026. One of Asia’s legendary jazz heroes, Eugene Pao, will be on stage at the Hong Kong City Hall with an original programme in May 2026: TRIBUTES.
Music Lab 作為香港重要的音樂文化推動團體，致力呈獻多元優質音樂節目。我們強調原創性、藝技與品味，堅持在舞台上找到獨特的藝術聲音，在舞台下傳遞社會文化意義。
2016至2018年間及自2024年重啟以來，我們製作年度的「本地薑音樂節」現已拓展為更具規模的「Atlas Project」，目前獲香港藝術發展局年度資助及香港特區政府「藝能發展資助計劃」支持。
多年來，我們與香港新銳藝術家、亞洲大師及國際巨星合作無間。從最初培育青年藝術家的小型藝團起始，藝術總監KJ黃家正和 CY Leo 已成為獨當一面的知名藝術家，拓展 Music Lab的藝文影響力至國際層面。
2025年，我們舉辦的「大師系列」聚焦爵士鋼琴家羅尚正Ted Lo、古典鋼琴家羅乃新Nancy Loo、吳美樂Mary Wu，獲得空前成功；而與跨界別藝術家如流行歌手林家謙Terrence Lam、衛蘭Janice Vidal的創意合作廣受海內外關注。2025年8月，我們更呈獻了由指揮家吳懷世Wilson Ng領軍的「亞洲現代交響樂團」創團音樂會，並邀得國際鋼琴巨星劉曉禹Bruce Liu擔任獨奏。此項目將會作為「香港周」的節目在首爾進行巡演，並獲得香港藝術發展局的鼎力支持。
展望未來，「Atlas Project」將開拓更廣闊舞台：KJ黃家正「冬之幻」獨奏會將進行亞洲巡演；旗艦項目「鼎奏樂團」將與國際藝術家陸逸軒Eric Lu、劉珒Kate Liu、閔嘉欣Jiaxin Min及何惠慈Magdelene Ho攜手，以《鼎奏莫絕》節目於香港及上海夏季音樂節（MISA）亮相；2026年4月更將聯同四位香港傳奇鋼琴家，呈獻兩晚貝多芬鋼琴協奏曲全集。亞洲爵士巨匠包以正Eugene Pao亦將於2026年5月在香港大會堂帶來原創節目《致敬鼎爵》

KJ Recital: Seasons of Schubert - Lost KJ 黃家正：舒伯特之人生如戲－迷失
The second instalment of a three-year project on Schubert, “Lost” opens with an original re-arrangement of Liszt’s transcription of the Winterreise by Schubert. A journey of lost hope, regained strength and inner pain, the journey then ventures into Schubert’s two A Major Sonata: the D664 that looms with false optimism and purposeful joy in tears. “Lost” answers our heart with the penultimate sonata of Schubert, D959 - the one that repeats with a yearning to live beyond pain and death, just as his music has.
Seasons of Schubert is KaJeng Wong’s latest project centred upon the theme of death and mortality through the music of Schubert. Through his late sonatas, impromptus, Wanderer Fantasy and the transcription of Winterreise, we are touched once again by the emotional world that echoes our heart at our most vulnerable.
