Historic Milestones
The 2006 season marked the beginning of their 30th year of playing as well as performing as a chamber ensemble without a conductor - a move that will focus itself on better ensembleship among players.
A couple of highlights of HKCO throughout these 30 years include:
- playing the farewell concert in the hall of the old HKSB building before it was demolished. The program included Wagner's Siegfried Idyll.
- doing the farewell concert for the VC Rayson Huang in the Loke Yew Hall, HKU. Program included the Farewell Symphony of Haydn and a piece composed by Dr Ann Boyd.
- doing a Hong Kong City Hall concert with Richard Harvey conducting his new Concerto for erhu and guitar.
- performing the HK première of Strauss's Metamorphosen.
