Description
This rousing CNY performance from the flagship Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra is not to be missed: to ward off evil spirits; to clear the way for good fortune to come home; and to usher in a prosperous Year of the Ox with abundant blessings! From today (Feb 9), this 4-minute Musical Red Couplets, featuring 80 musicians, 32 types of instruments and two dancing lions, is sure to bring an upbeat mood at this festive time of the year.
What to look out for:
Bianzhong (bronze bells) - rarely seen percussion set of bronze bells (weighing about 1.6 tonnes);
Jiangu (big drum) - a massive drum from Jiangzhou of Shanxi province (1.3 metres in diameter and 1 metre deep); and
Eco-huqins, developed by the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra
