Don't miss: Here's How a Hong Kong Ballet Principal Dancer Stays Performance Ready
1. The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra

Hong Kong’s largest orchestra returns to the live stage with a brand-new programme, featuring international talent and stunning visuals taken from the BBC Blue Planet television series.
Finnish conductor Taavi Oramo will make his HKPhil debut at Sounds of the Sea (May 6 and 7), a concert that brings together works by composers who were inspired by ocean voyages, including Finland’s Jean Sibelius, Japanese composer Tōru Takemitsu, and John Williams, the US maestro responsible for the score of Star Wars and Indiana Jones among countless other blockbusters. The concert culminates with Claude Debussy’s masterpiece, La mer, which revolutionised orchestral music in early 20th-century France with shifting moods and textures that imitate the sound of waves.
Hong Kong pianist Aristo Sham, who won the Casagrande International Piano Competition in 2019, will perform at Magnificent Mendelssohn on May 13 and 14, also conducted by Oramo.
For a full visual and audio experience, opt for the Hong Kong premiere of BBC Blue Planet II Live in Concert on May 20 and 22, when the HKPhil performs the score by Hans Zimmer, David Fleming and Jacob Shea during the screening of the well-known documentary.
From May 6 to 22. The Hong Kong Cultural Centre, 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui
