Spring Concert 2025 – Tales and Tunes

Amicis Sinfonia welcomes the new season with Spring Concert 2025, a program that brings together sweeping orchestral works and intimate chamber performances.

Our journey begins with Sibelius’ “En Saga,” a vivid tone poem filled with mystery and Nordic folklore, followed by the grand and majestic Prelude to Wagner’s “Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg.” These orchestral works set the stage for an evening of musical storytelling, where each piece paints a unique scene.

Beyond the orchestra, chamber ensembles formed by members of Amicis Sinfonia showcase their artistry in a diverse selection of works. From the folk-infused warmth of Dvořák’s “American” Quartet to the rich brass harmonies of Ewald’s quintet, these performances bring a more personal, expressive side of music to the stage.

This concert is a celebration of music’s ability to tell tales—sometimes bold and dramatic, sometimes delicate and introspective. Whether in the grandeur of the orchestra or the intimacy of chamber music, these melodies invite you to listen, imagine, and be transported.

Annual Concert 2024 – Echoes of the Romantic Empires

Amicis Sinfonia is back this autumn, bringing you the music from a short time ago, in an empire not far away.

They are the Echoes of the Romantic Empire. It all begins with a Viennese musical, “Die Fledermaus”, featuring the prosperity of the romantic music back in time. We also celebrate Bruckner’s Birthday with a romantic piece by himself, delivering the charm from Vienna here in Hong Kong. The concert will also feature two famous concertos from the romantic period, bringing you to northeastern Europe, feeling the unique taste of late romance. Tchaikovsky’s famous “Swan Lake” will act as the finale of the concert. The scene from the heaven of this ballet is just so similar to the paradise for brilliant composers. Although they are in a total different dimension from reality, their spirits will always be with us all.
