Bel Canto Singers is proud to announce the fourth re-run of “Yu Kwang-chung’s Words & Music”. Since its premiere in Hong Kong, “Yu Kwang-chung’s Words & Music” was invited to tour Singapore. Last October the programme was brought to Taiwan, performing at the invitation of Prof. Yu Kwang-chung himself at his university, and then repeated in two performances in Taipei as part of the “Taipei Hong Kong Week 2014”.  After a full circle in South-east Asia, we now return to Hong Kong!

This programme is a wonderful meeting of poetic verses and musical notes. Vocal works written and re-arranged by composers inspired by Professor Yu’s poems in the last 30 years or more will be interlaced with the inspirational words of Yu himself.  The concert will be performed by tenor David Quah, soprano Margaret Yim, mezzo-soprano Emily Liu and bass Edmund Kwan, accompanied on the piano by Julie Kuok, with readings by veteran radio presenter and music critic Dennis Wu, hoping to transport the audience to the world of the Muse.
