HK Phil Hosts 'Swire Community Concert: Rhapsody In Spring'

Each year, The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra offers free concerts to non-profit organisations and their communities, with a focus on creating enjoyable and inclusive experiences for audiences of all abilities and needs. The Swire Community Concert returns with the theme of “Rhapsody in Spring”, featuring two performances on 19 April 2025 (Sat) in the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Concert Hall.
