Beethoven | Choral Fantasy
Press Release
Programme
Once known as the Sino-British Orchestra, the HK Phil became formally professionalised 50 years ago. To herald in this new chapter of the orchestra’s history, the HK Phil performed Beethoven’s Egmont Overture and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony no. 5 at its inaugural concert on 11 January 1974. Now on the same weekend 50 years later, the HK Phil will commemorate its golden jubilee by performing those two works alongside Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy.
The concert runs approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes with an intermission.
