In merely a decade, the University of Hong Kong’s MUSE (My University Spotlight Encounters) Concert Series successfully redefined concert presentation in the city and inspired music enthusiasts to reimagine their experiences of music enjoyment and appreciation.
HKU MUSE offers audience members a full immersion. Attracted by HKU MUSE’s ‘risk-taking’ spirit, like-minded world-class artists do not just perform at the renowned Grand Hall, they also engage with HKU’s professors in explorative conversations supported with well-researched literature, participate in original projects and interact with the audiences. The University’s academic resources, including knowledge from professors and input from students, enhance HKU MUSE’s intellectual enrichment activities and take them to another level.
You are welcome to HKU MUSE’s 10th anniversary celebration where an impressive line-up of illustrious artists is set to wow all music enthusiasts. Upcoming highlights include star violinist Isabelle Faust and world-acclaimed pianist Alexander Melnikov, who will collaborate on all of Beethoven’s 10 Sonatas for Violin and Piano in three concerts (March 31 to April 2). Faust and Melnikov’s joint recordings of these sonatas have won many awards, including the prestigious “Echo Klassik”, “Gramophone” and “Diapason d'Or”. The chance to hear “the most stimulating and fascinating accounts of the Beethoven Violin Sonatas in many years” (BBC Music Magazine) is not to be missed.
“The Faust-Melnikov duo is considered one of the best interpreters of these sonatas, and our Professor Daniel Chua [a world-renowned Beethoven expert] will hold a dialogue with both artists at the end of the three-day cycle,” says Sharon Lu, Programme Director of HKU MUSE.
