Finding Elixirs for the Soul in music concerts at The Old Pathological Institute

Musicus Society’s Artistic Director and international cellist Trey Lee will be joined by critically acclaimed violinist Alexander Sitkovetsky, who is heralded as the “Star of the New Century” by The Strad, in performances of Bach’s unaccompanied music on their respective instruments. The two will also collaborate in Kodály’s Duo for Violin and Cello. Versatile yangqin player Pan Ya-sze will join the violin and cello respectively in the world première of two commissioned works inspired by the heritage site by Virginia Wan and Tsang Lok-yan, winners of Musicus Society’s Call for Scores 2018.

With an aim to awaken the history of Hong Kong through music, the Musicus Heritage Community Concert Series presents world-class performances at selected heritage venues. The Society also introduces an annual Call for Scores program, from which young composers are selected to create new works inspired by the heritage sites. These new works will subsequently be premièred at the corresponding sites. Musicus Society is financially supported by the Springboard Grant under the Arts Capacity Development Funding Scheme of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The Society also gratefully acknowledges Credit Suisse as Lead Partner of the Musicus Heritage Community Concert Series.
