Description
The second concert of CityUHK Arts Festival 2024 - Orchestral Concert: Music from the Silver Screen with a theme of movie soundtracks concluded successfully on 16 October 2024.
Performed by CityUHK Philharmonic Orchestra, the highlight of this evening was the James Bond Suite, which impressed the audience with its familiar melodies and stunning live orchestral performances. Adding to the excitement, audience were thrilled by a dramatic ending. One of the players acted as a spy, suddenly “shot” the conductor and making him fall on the ground, which surprised the audience with a twist they never saw coming. The performance was a resounding success!
The concert also featured a guest orchestra, Ponte Orchestra, which enchanted the audience with theme songs and soundtracks from Hong Kong movies—including Good To Be Alive, Years Like Water, and Star Wish.
This night, filled with Hong Kong and Hollywood movie vibes, attracted a full house. We hope every audience can relive the touching moments from the silver screen!
