The holiday season has a sound all of its own. It’s the sound of joyful choirs and glittering delights; magical surprises and family favourites. Today the HK Phil welcomes two wonderful choirs, the HK Phil Chorus and The Hong Kong Children’s Choir, and the multitalented Apollo Wong, who is going to sing and conduct to unwrap a stocking-full of Christmas gifts – musical sweeties from Tchaikovsky, timeless melodies from Handel’s Messiah, a musical visit from our neighbour Totoro, and tuneful treats from around the world, including all your favourite festive songs. And whether you’re 8 or 108, you’re guaranteed the very warmest of welcomes – because, like the spirit of the Season, music is for everyone.
