There are a lot of thoughtful moments — the imagery of the shut-down streets in Hong Kong, the tied up chairs in the concert hall, our star ferry, our harbour… that solitude. It is really moving.” Kathy Lam, RTHK 4

“I’ve been to the recital live. But revisiting his Goldberg Variations in the cinema still touches me deeply” Daisy Lee, Tai Kung Pao

Despite a three week hotel quarantine, Berlin-based pianist Chiyan Wong returned to his hometown in March 2021 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, and gave a heart-felt recital to live audience. For the first time in almost six months, classical music lovers gathered in a concert hall again for the inspiration of a live music performance. As the centrepiece of his stunning programme, the award-winning pianist shared his unique interpretation of Busoni’s kaleidoscopic arrangement of Bach’s classic Goldberg Variations. 

“Encore!” (2021) was selected as part of the London Lift-Off Film Festival 2022.

Produced and recorded live by Premiere Performances of Hong Kong.

This event is part of the MOViE MOViE “Life is Art. Design in Motion” Festival.
