"Pleasure at Tea Time __ Summer"

Experience a first-of-its-kind Chinese music performance featuring "tea and music." The Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra incorporates the melodies of the flute, zhongruan, and sanxian into classic repertoires such as "A Moonlit Night on the Xiangjiang River," "High Mountains and Flowing Water," "Eighteen Beats," and "Orchid Meets Spring." 🎶 The fragrance of tea and the sounds of music intertwine at the Teahouse Theatre at the Xiqu Centre in West Kowloon, presenting a feast for both the senses and the palate. Chinese music emphasizes "melody," echoing the "harmony, tranquility, and serenity" of tea ceremony. The flute's sound evokes the richness of tea, while the ruan's strings offer a lingering sweetness. The Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra interprets tradition with contemporary techniques, allowing audiences to experience the exquisite beauty of Chinese aesthetics through multiple senses. Music and tea are, after all, two expressions of the same cultural heritage. #EnjoyTeaTime #XiquCentre #WestKowloonPerformingArts #WestKowloonCulturalDistrict #HongKongChineseOrchestra #Westk #PerformingArts #XiquCentre #HKCO
