The art community in Shum Shui Po, M+ Sigg Collection: Another Story & pianist/composer Hayato Sumin

2023-10-25
As co-host Ben Pelletier is away this week on his travels, we will be welcoming a new member of the team, Katy Chow. She’s going to be introducing ongoing art events in Hong Kong in our regular “What’s On” segment. And another exciting thing we have in store today is a chat with pianist and composer Hayato Sumino, who was here for his debut Hong Kong recital last week.

You may remember that a few years ago, “The Works” reported on the gentrification of Sham Shui Po. The relatively cheap rents there at the time attracted artists, gallerists, and even café owners to start creating a small but lively cultural community in the district. But in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, things have changed. And not necessarily for the better.

Pianist and composer Hayato Sumino is known nor only for his interpretations of Chopin’s music, but also for his own cross genre musical arrangements that he posts on his YouTube channel under the name of CATEEN. He’s already attracted more than one and a quarter million subscribers there.
On 13rd October, he came to Hong Kong for his debut recital. We went to chat with him.
