Artist Information

Windpipe Chinese Music Ensemble

Facebook | Instagram | YouTube

As a locally influenced, exquisite and energetic Chinese music organisation, Windpipe Chinese Music Ensemble is a registered charitable organisation supported by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council. Founded in 2003, the Ensemble promotes Chinese music in the Hong Kong cultural scene. From its traditional Lingnan culture foundations to merging the aesthetics of the East and West, the ensemble lives up to its artistic motto of “small but elegant, simple but refined” by presenting traditional and contemporary works with a distinctive local flair.

 

The ensemble’s resident musicians are young and talented music graduates from local institutes with rich experiences in concert performance. The performances typically follow the traditional combinations of sizhu (silk and bamboo, or strings and winds), and the repertoire showcases the Lingnan vernacular instruments. The ensemble has given more than 60 subscription concerts and 600 educational outreach concerts, premiered over 60 new works by local composers, and performed with numerous virtuosi both at home and overseas.

 

Since 2007, it has taken part in 15 editions of the Community Cultural Ambassador Scheme organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. Representing Hong Kong internationally since 2008, the ensemble has gone on tour to and had cultural exchanges with more than 40 countries and regions in Asia, North America and Europe.
