Revisiting the vintage years

If you have a time machine to take you to the past, where would you want to go? The hectic urban lifestyle of now does call for an occasional reprieve. In our last season, we started the Chinese Music Time Machine and took our audience to roam in music soundscapes of different pockets of time. Now in this sequel, we will make brief stops in cities to look at their charming vintage and perhaps revisit fond memories. As the tune of golden oldies float in the air, you will be swept up by the nostalgic mood. They include Joseph Koo’s score for HKTVB drama oldies, The Legend of Master So and The Understudy, in new arrangements; the Cantonese tune, Lovers’ Sorrow, also given a new arrangement and retitled The Red ‘Shuang-Xing-Hen’, etc. The young ensemble is made up of six music talents from the wind, plucked-string, bowed-string and percussion sections of the HKCO. Come on board and go back in time!
