Brazilian Fantasy with Ney Rosauro
The legendary Brazilian composer and percussionist Ney Rosauro is putting on a special performance of folk music from his home country, joined by the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong. Rosauro will be both guest conductor and soloist at this one-off concert of his own compositions, featuring some local talents sharing his stage.
Fiona Foo will play Rosauro’s famous ‘Concerto No.1 for Marimba and Orchestra’ – known as the most popular marimba concerto of all time – while the Hong Kong Philharmonic’s principal timpanist James Boznos and renowned local marimba musician Eliise Liu will present the Hong Kong premiere of Rosauro’s ‘Double Concerto for Marimba, Timpani and Orchestra’. The composer himself will also perform a solo rendition of his Brazilian Suite for vibraphone. Tickets are available from $200 to $500, with concessions available.
