Have you ever heard a string quartet? If not, why not attend a concert given by the Hong Kong String Quartet on May 10 at the City Hall Theatre.

After hearing the concert, you may find that you are well on your way to becoming a chamber music fan! The quartet, which was formed in 1994, comprises four outstanding musicians: Chow Lap-chung (violin), Wong Sze-hang (violin), Richard Bamping (cello) and Meidad Yehudayan (viola).

They will perform works by Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Shostakovich.

The concert starts at 8 pm. Tickets at $80 and $60 (half-price for senior citizens, the disabled and full-time students) are available at all Urbtix outlets.
