In 2004, the Orchestra invited the Hong Kong Juvenile and Youth Classical Chinese Orchestra to jointly stage the “When Music Blossoms” Concert at the Melbourne Town Hall. With the help of the SBS Radio, the orchestra has made a recording of the Australian National Anthem with traditional Chinese musical instruments in September 2005. The recording has been used by local Councils and community organisations for occasions such as the Citizenship ceremony. The Orchestra has established close friendship with many overseas Chinese music groups and will continue to support local Chinese musicians and promote traditional Chinese music in Australia. 17 ɹᅣ྄څࠕಉɢ ᖵ׾Ղ່൝ՆཽءᄎᝤՀऱԫଡᄐ塒ଃᑗิ៣ΔਢڣΔ੡ଉཽഗᅮඒՖॹڣ࣍ԫ԰քԲمګՖॹխᑗቸཽ խᑗቸհԫΖ ॹᑗڣچءழٍ੡ٵගଃᑗΔاଅ௑ऱխഏٵጟլٺཏᢅՕฒտฯٻ੒೯Δנᣊীऱዝٺᄎᜰᙄ݁ڣޢቸ ࠐΔᑗቸፖਙࢌڣڍଉཽਙࢌ׌ᙄଃᑗᄎΖԼطದΔᑗቸঁࡳཚ೶ፖڣᖲᄎΖ۞ԫ԰԰քנࠎಝᒭ֗ዝ༼ ऱଃᑗᄎΔ׊ፂ਍೏Ղஆ෷Δۖዝ৉ڤীٵଡՕᄎഘ֮֗ୡխ֨ᜰᙄԱ٥൷२ԿԼ໱լڍཽءΔ࣍܂ٽ֫ ೴ᄎچԳխ֨Δ۔ਔࠩᖂீΔץΔ܂ᛧ൓Աᑗ੺ऱ्ࡳΖೈԱᜰᙄଃᑗᄎ؆Δᑗቸٍᆖൄ೶ፖष೴ՠٍؓ ଡݳᣋቸ᧯ዝ৉Ζڍ࿛Δ੡ ᠜(ย՗)Ε್૭(ย՗)ΕᏘΗᣪԺ೏(್ᙰޕᑗቸམᝮᓮ୙ଆႆ(ਐཀ)Εན৬ᖫ(ਐཀ)Ε׆߉৬(ਐཀ)Εڣ چء֗א୮ټભ(ࣨ઺/ࠇ઺)Ε്೏࿴(ཆྶ)Εພႁݳΰ♝ܱ/ጥ՗αΕ۶ᛑΰԲ઺α࿛܌Εᄘ൫(ྴྵ)Εৌ ေΖړ੺ԫીٺΔᛧ൓נᕽ壄૎ᓡࢭ࿇(ਐཀ)Ε༙ᔲᜢ(ਐཀ)Ε۶֮՟(ਐཀ)Εᗝ೛ߜ(♝ܱ/ጥ՗)࿛᥋֫ዝ ቸጻܿ੡www.hkywcaco.net Hong Kong YWCA Chinese Orchestra nded in 1962, the Hong Kong YWCA Chinese Orchestra is an amateur music organization under the Hong Kong ng Women Christian Association and is one of the Chinese orchestras with the longest history in Hong Kong.

    Paul Weller with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Jules Buckley

    For immediate release Paul Weller with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Jules Buckley concert date added to ‘Live from the Barbican’ line-up in spring 2021 Barbican Hall, Saturday 6 February 2021, 8pm The Barbican and Barbican Associate Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Orchestra are excited to announce that the orchestra and its Creative Artist in Association Jules Buckley, will be joined by legendary singer songwriter Paul Weller on Saturday 6 February for a concert reimagining Weller’s work in stunning orchestral settings as part of Live from the Barbican in 2021. In Weller’s first live performance for two years, songs spanning the broad spectrum of his career from The Jam to as yet unheard new material will delight fans and newcomers alike. Classic songs including ‘You Do Something to Me’, ‘English Rose’ and ‘Wild Wood’ along with tracks from Weller’s latest number 1 album ‘On Sunset’ will be heard as never before in brand new orchestral arrangements by Buckley. Weller, who takes cultural authenticity to the top of the charts, reunites with Steve Cradock for this one-off performance. Part of the acclaimed Live from the Barbican series which returns to the Centre in the spring, the concert will have a reduced, socially distanced live audience in the Barbican Hall, and it will also be available to watch globally via a livestream on the Barbican website. Whilst the concert will reflect on some of Weller’s back catalogue, as is typical of his constantly evolving career, it will look to the future with performances of songs from an album not released until May 2021, as well as welcoming guest artists to illustrate his work and the music that influenced him.

    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

Since 2003, the 50­year­old singer­ songwriter, who picked up music at the age of 16, has been traveling around Northwest China collecting folk material from local artists.

Four years later, he released his second album, Like A Grass, which, like his debut album, features ele­ ments of Chinese folk. One of the songs Su performs is a traditional hua’er, a type of folk singing from the country’s northwest. Titled The Night Journey, the song tells the sto­ ry of a man’s secret date with the woman of his dreams.

Anderson would be able to revisit the communal expressive ideal of several recent works for unaccompanied choir in the context of his by now well-established orchestral style, with its characteristic integration of lyrical simplicity and joyous complexity. The solo female voice, meanwhile, suggested a new and often dramatic presence – an individual consciousness at the heart of one of Anderson’s typical evocations of the natural world. Clearly, the choice of texts would be a central decision. Anderson had set poems by Emily Dickinson before, and now found in her visionary eccentricity a compelling expression of nature’s abundance as a kind of secular miracle.
