"The Gong Strikes One", Barminski@JPS & in the studio: pianist Rhythmie Wong
2023-09-06
Chinese opera and traditional music make up the main repertoire of the local ensemble The Gong Strikes One. That includes a range of genres, one of the most significant of which is naamyum, a form of Cantonese narrative singing that originated in Guangdong and was commonly heard in restaurants, tea houses and certain houses of ill repute.
To mark its 10th anniversary, JPS Art Gallery is taking viewers to a journey to the moon. Or is it? In “Moon Lands on Man”, multimedia artist Barminski is using cardboard and other materials to create an environment reflecting on conspiracy theories that the United States' Apollo 11 did not actually go to the moon at all. Barminski creates a fun and interactive environment different from a traditional gallery experience in the hope of provoking viewers to think about topics such as the nature of truth, the influence of media, and the power of conspiracy theories.
Founded in 2009, the Hong Kong Festival Orchestra and Voices is the organisation behind one of the leading orchestra and choir festivals in Hong Kong. It also arranges cross-media performances involving other art forms. This year, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Russian pianist, composer, and eventual exile by choice, Sergei Rachmaninoff, the orchestra is presenting a concert that features some of his best known pieces. Pianist Rhythmie Wong and violinist Terence Lam are here to tell us more.
