NEW HONG KONG PHILHARMONIA
Impact Beyond Music!
ABOUT US
Established in 2018, the New Hong Kong Philharmonia (NHKP) uses music as a medium to create an impact beyond purely music making and nurtures musicians into society’s compassionate, capable, and responsible leaders. NHKP has dedicated herself to providing local musicians with the opportunities to perform wide-ranging chamber and orchestral repertoires. Through organizing concerts, music tours, and cultural exchange programmes, NHKP seeks to enhance techniques, musicality, and ensembleship of members, while building a collaborative network between the musicians and internationally well-known artists.
Over the years, NHKP has organised many concerts with various renowned artists, including Stefano Pagliani, Bertie Higgins, and Rachel Cheung. In August 2018, the orchestra was invited to participate in Festival Musicale Nel Commune Di Morigerati E Sicilì in Sapri, Italty, where members engaged in a week of masterclasses and performances under the tutelage of Festival's internationally renowned faculty. Furthering the mission of making an impact beyond music, NHKP held a Christmas performance for 60+ elderly and their family at TWGHs Jockey Club Sunshine Complex for the Elderly in December 2018.
