Swire Maestro Series: Lio Kuokman Comes To Hong Kong Cultural Centre

Directed by HK Phil Resident Conductor Lio Kuokman, this season finale presents a musical mélange to thank our diverse audience for their support throughout the past year.

Young violin prodigy Paloma So plays Bizet/Waxman's virtuosic Carmen Fantasie, and also Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso by Saint-Saëns. Acclaimed soprano Louise Kwong sings arias by Bizet and Verdi which reflect feelings of hope and courage.
