Musicus Society Celebrates 10th Anniversary Season of Musicus Fest, Featuring 11 Concerts Over 4 Weekends

Musicus Society celebrated their tenth anniversary season of Musicus Fest, which featured eleven concerts over four weekends from 5 to 26 November 2022, throughout the city of Hong Kong. A meeting point for artists from across the world, Musicus Fest brings musicians from Hong Kong, Italy, Germany, Canada, France, and Poland together for an international celebration of cross-cultural musicianship. Musicus Fest 2022 drew to a successful close with the 10th Anniversary Concert, which featured the launch of Musicus Soloists Hong Kong (MSHK) on 26 November at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.

MSHK is focused on becoming a leading chamber ensemble representing Hong Kong globally. Under the artistic direction of Trey Lee, established overseas artists and young Hong Kong talents gave a wonderful concert marking the beginning of Hong Kong's most promising new ensemble. The evening commenced with Rameau's Pygmalion Overture, a creation myth that mirrors the launch of MSHK; is it came into being from the imagination of their creators. This was followed by three concerti by Vivaldi, Mozart and Casadesus that showcased Włoszczowska's profound musicianship, Cheong's musical brilliance, and Lee's masterful interpretation. Dvořák's infectious Serenade for Strings and excerpts from Mendelssohn's popular "Swiss" Symphony for Strings completed the program, with the latter spotlighting MSHK with Ensemble Training students in a grand finale.
