Macbeth by William Shakespeare
Blood will have blood, they say, in this striking retelling of Shakespeare's most popular tragedy. The award-winning Action To The Word ensemble return, having toured Romeo & Juliet last year, in their visceral performance of this tale of ambition, power and loss. With their unique flare for physical storytelling, Action To The Word’s production of Macbeth, passionately pulls into question the very human condition, asking what people will stop at to get what they desire.

Black Comedy Di-Dar
A soon-closing secondary school in Hong Kong is on the verge of financial collapse. The desperate school principal thus decides to promote Chinese culture and make Chinese music a highlight in a bid to attract ample funding.
With the unsatisfactory response from students, the principal and the discipline head have no other ways but allow students with a major demerit to swap for with a minor demerit, and those with a minor demerit to swap for a warning if they join the Chinese orchestra. Sure enough, many students are attracted to register...
And it doesn’t end there. Rumour has it that the school is haunted, and the school janitors and female students swear they see spirits in the school.
To prevent fear from spreading, the school principal had no choice but to invite a musician-master to hold an exorcism ceremony in the school. During the ceremony, and when the musicians play the dida as loud as a trumpet, it ignites the performing soul deep in everyone's heart...

Hong Kong Sinfonietta: Welcome to the New World
A heart-to-heart talk between Smetana and Dvořák – the giants of Czech music
on the occasion of Smetana’s 200th birthday celebration and Czech Year of Music
We remember Smetana and Dvořák as two of the best-known Czech composers today – probably because of Dvořák’s New World Symphony and Smetana’s My Fatherland. But we know much less of Dvořák and Smetana as we do other composers of the day. Today, through “live” conversations between the two composers, and possibly with the audience, we will be able to find out more about these men behind the music, especially of Dvořák, whose New World Symphony will be analysed as well as performed.
We let the composers introduce and speak for themselves about their lives and work… and let you into their world. “Which train did you take to come to this concert? I want to know the model number.” This could be how a typical conversation with Dvořák started, especially with his students. Now who would have guessed that Dvořák was a train fanatic!
Come and find out more about the composers and enjoy a concert with activities and information!

My Fatherland: The Moldau

Symphony No 9 in E minor, Op 95, “From the New World”
