HONG KONG SINFONIETTA
The Sinfonietta is collaborating with cinema company Movie Movie to bring five original concert movies to Life Is Art, Hong Kong’s annual documentary festival, taking place this month. The orchestra was the first music company in Hong Kong to record its performances for screening when the pandemic led to so many cancellations. Back on Stage
III: Destiny, the latest concert film recorded in November last year, will open the festival, while Back on Stage
I and II will also be screened. The other two titles are Vive La Musique, featuring local pianist Colleen Lee and French cellist Aurélien Pascal, and All Star Tiny Galaxy, a chamber concert, which will be shown in
Sham Shui Po’s vintage-themed hostel Wontonmeen, a popular venue for smaller jazz and indie music performances. hksl.org
