During the sharing session at the press conference, Anthony said, "I'm thrilled to perform with the HK Phil again since our collaboration way back in 1989. In these three performances, I will bring you the magic and the power of music, together with our wonderful local orchestra and some of my good friends including Elisa Chan, Kay Tse and Leung Chiu Fung. The audience will hear some of the best songs I've composed since my debut in the 1980s, as well as some of my best-loved movie music. I look forward to showcasing the elegance of classical music and also the amazing integration between classical music and local pop music at the concert."

Fung Lam, Director of Artistic Planning of the HK Phil said at the event, "Anthony has written many memorable tunes that accompanied the growth of my generation and alike since the 1980s. Equally at home on stage performing and working behind the scene, he is one of my most-respected songwriters in the local pop music scene. I am very much looking forward to this collaboration."

The "Man Behind the Piano", also the winner of the CASH Hall of Fame - Lifetime Achievement Award Anthony performed a song with his friends Elisa Chan and Leung Chiu Fung at the press conference, revealing the excitement of the concert!

Anthony has worked with the HK Phil many times since 1989. This 2019 concert is the first time that Anthony returns to the stage of the HK Phil since the "HKPO x Sandy x Anthony LIVE" concert held in 2004. In the concert, Anthony will relive his many famous songs from the 80s to the recent, including his very own The Man Behind the Piano (???????), Heart Still Cold (??????), Warm Love (????????), Encouragement (???????) and many popular songs on various HK Top Music Charts that he composed for the other singers such as A Clarinet in A Quiet Night (????????), When (????), Why Do I Let You Go (????????), Said I'd Make you Happy (?????????) and more. The concert also features Anthony's own pick of songs from movies. It would be a great night to look forward to for all fans of this great singer-songwriter who has been on the music scene since the 1980s.
