Hong Kong Chamber Orchestra - Historic Milestones

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.
