Joyce Jonathan

Maybe it’s the soft French Gs (pronounced “zh”) that punctuate both her first and last names. Or maybe it’s her ability to sing in Mandarin – she’s released several bilingual versions of her songs.

Either way, there’s no denying the French singer-songwriter has an undeniable je ne sais quoi about her. Listen as this rising star turns French ballads into folksy acoustic goodness.

WATCH Jonathan sing Je ne sais pas in French ...

... and in Mandarin

Charlie Chaplin’s Gold Rush

Before talkies took over Hollywood, silent films relied heavily on musical accompaniment, in the form of an orchestra or individual pianist. For this presentation, the Hong Kong Philharmonic pays tribute to the comedic genius by performing the live score for the 1925 classic featuring Chaplin’s signature character The Tramp.

The HK Phil will dress down for two nights as they play the soundtrack to Gold Rush.
