Jaap Van Zweden Takes The Stage Of Swire Symphony Under The Stars As summer makes way for fall, Swire Symphony Under The Stars, the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra's (HK Phil) free annual outdoor mega-concert is back again! This year, we are excited to welcome our Music Director Maestro Jaap van Zweden, along with the HK Phil's talented musicians- Jing Wang (Concertmaster), Richard Bamping (Principal Cello), Fang Xiaomu (Co-Principal Cello), Andrew Simon (Principal Clarinet) and Esteban Batallán (Principal Trumpet). They will be joined by the crowd favourite Harry Wong (or Harry Gor Gor) as host. So come and be inspired by the finest music-making under the stars on 24 November (Saturday) at the Central Harbourfront!

The evening will feature orchestral favourites across several genres, including Brahms' Hungarian Dance no. 5, Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries", J Strauss II's Blue Danube, iconic theme music from Star Wars and more. Under the baton of our Music Director Jaap van Zweden, and with the ever-lively presenter Harry Gor Gor, the evening promises enchantment for music lovers of all ages.

This annual outdoor extravaganza is made possible through the generous support of the Swire Group. As the principal patron of the HK Phil since 2006, Swire is deeply committed to its long-term vision of promoting artistic excellence and fostering cultural appreciation. Together with the HK Phil, Swire aims to bring the world of classical music to the widest possible audience.
