The Works：Pianist Kyohei Sorita, Antoinette Rozan@Sin Sin & in the studio: Cello Festival at the HKA

Since 1984, the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts has taken a leading role across Asia in educating and nurturing new generations of talent in music, theatre, dance, stage production, film and TV, and more. In music, the academy organises a cello festival and a piano festival every year. Later on this week’s show, we’re once again welcoming cello students Trevor Chan and Charlotte Mak into the studio to talk about the cello festival that ended in late May.
First though, to the piano. on 25th June, pianist Kyohei Sorita, known for his Chopin repertoire, came to Hong Kong to play a concert with the Basel Chamber. We went along to their rehearsal.
Antoinette Rozan’s family has been involved in the arts for five generations. Not only is her father an artist, she can count, among the earlier generations of the family, engravers, sculptors, and architects. For her though, it wasn’t until a trip to the south of France in 1998 that she discovered her passion for sculpture in clay and metal.
On show at the gallery till the 24th of August, the exhibition “Vital”, demonstrates Rozan’s energy, strength, movement and the paradox at the centre of her creativity.
The exhibition features ink on paper as well as sculptural works.
