Meet the King of Instruments for a Magical Night

Immerse yourself in the majestic, versatile and otherworldly soundscapes of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre’s magnificent Rieger organ, brought vividly to life by one of the four titular organists of Notre-Dame de Paris, Vincent Dubois. Joined by award-winning conductor Emmanuel Tjeknavorian, Dubois makes a welcome return to the HK Phil with two masterworks for his instrument: Richard Strauss’s Festliches Präludium and Saint-Saëns’s beloved, melody-rich Third Symphony, placing the 8,000-pipe organ in dazzling, commanding focus. Vienna-based Tjeknavorian prepares his special arrangement of Khachaturian’s Gayane in showcasing the high-octane Armenian pulses.

The concert runs approximately 1 hour 45 minutes with an intermission.
