The symphonic band will perform the jazz-infused The Fast Lane from the Cinnamon Concerto, with Music Office instructor Lau Tsz-kit as saxophone soloist.
Other programme highlights include The Nine, inspired by a historical event and conveying compassion and unity, and Machu Picchu: City in the Sky, which portrays the mystery and grandeur of the Inca Empire’s “golden city”.
Tickets for the show, which will be held at 3pm on May 1 at the Cultural Centre, are now available at URBTIX.
Call 3166 1288 for telephone bookings, and 2796 1003 or 3842 7784 for enquiries.
Formed in 1978 with the aim of nurturing young musicians and arousing greater interest in symphonic band music in the city, the band currently has around 60 members and recruits annually by open audition.
