Talented sheng musician Kevin Cheng presents a performance that brings out the pure and unique sounds of the traditional Chinese instrument. Highlights include Grand Prelude, a Henan opera piece that showcases the local colour and charm of Chinese traditional music; the first great sheng solo work, The Phoenix Spreads its Wings, jointly composed by sheng master Hu Tian Quan and composer Dong Hong De; renowned sheng performer Loo Sze-wang’s composition Only Sheng, which depicts the lonesome path of the sheng virtuoso; and Hong Kong composer Ng Cheuk-yin’s Tiger Sketch, a contemporary piece that describes the imposing appearance of a tiger in an ink painting.
