Li Chunyun's talent in music making is not limited to his brilliant technique, but enhanced by the natural musicality and warm Bohemian temperament that are infused with the lush tone produced in his performances. Although we can talk as much as we want on the many awards he has won, or his adventures in film production, perhaps it would be most interesting for all of us to get to know Li as a young adult, and to experience his spontaneous music making first-hand. Besides sharing his musical experiences with us, we are happy to have Chuanyun perform for us in the two sessions as if he is playing for his best friends. Details of the performances as follows:
Date and Time:
1) Monday, 29th March 2004, 5:45pm – 7:00pm
2) Tuesday, 30th March 2004, 1:00pm - 2:00pm
Venue:
Main Gallery, Fung Ping Shan Building, the University Museum and Art Gallery
To add more local flavour to this enchanting musical journey, we have also asked Li to perform with a few very special locally crafted violins during the Tuesday (March 30th) session. These instruments are masterpieces of Mr. Cheng Chik-Pui and his late brother Mr. Cheng Chik-Wun. The two brothers set out to make some of the best violins ever produced in Hong Kong in the 1950s when good instruments were not as affordable as they are today. A friend of HKU's former Vice-Chancellor Professor Rayson Huang, Mr. Cheng Chik-Pui was responsible for repairing and restoring Professor Huang's many violins.
Members of the press are cordially invited to attend the both performances and the meet-the-press session on Tuesday (March 30th) after the performance. Details as follows:
Date: March 30th, 2004 (Tuesday)
Time: 2:15pm- 3:15pm
Venue: Tea Gallery, 2/F T.T. Tsui Building, the University Museum & Art Gallery
