Dimensional Pursuits



I attended the concert of Dimensional Pursuits performed by WANG Yong and Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra in the evening on 12/11/2004 (Friday)
The cross over performance of the two group was brilliant. However, the concert was over shadowed by the low attendance of the audiences (only 1/4 seats being fulled).

I've no clue why the concerts of Sam HUI, Twins could attracts such a great number of attendants instead of such a great performance. That's is Hong Kong's art scene? I also doubt the standard of HK's audiences too. May be they just look down at Chinese orchestra?

"For the first half of the Orchestral Season, I would really look forward to the November concert Dimensional Pursuits, which is part of the New Vision Arts Festival. The creative combination of the HKCO and Wang Yong’s ensemble would be a refreshing and novel experience for our musical thinking and our ears."
