Hong Kong (香港; "Fragrant Harbour"), officially Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, is an autonomous territory on the southern coast of China at the Pearl River Estuary and the South China Sea. Hong Kong is known for its skyline and deep natural harbour. It has a land area of 1104 km2 and shares its northern border with Guangdong Province of Mainland China. With around 7.2 million inhabitants of various nationalities, Hong Kong is one of the world's most densely populated metropolises.
After the First Opium War (1839–42), Hong Kong became a British colony with the perpetual cession of Hong Kong Island, followed by Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 and a 99-year lease of the New Territories from 1898. Hong Kong remained under British control for about a century until the Second World War, when Japan occupied the colony from December 1941 to August 1945. After the Surrender of Japan, the British resumed control. In the 1980s, negotiations between the United Kingdom and the China resulted in the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration, which provided for the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong on 30 June 1997. The territory became a special administrative region of China with a high degree of autonomy on 1 July 1997 under the principle of one country, two systems. Disputes over the perceived misapplication of this principle have contributed to popular protests, including the 2014 Umbrella Revolution.
Hong Kong Philharmonic performs Mahler's Symphony No. 5 under Maestro Osmo Vanska.
First performed as a cycle of four operas in 1876, Wagner’s visionary Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung) is one of the greatest works of art. Centred around a ring which offers its bearer ultimate power and the attempts of various people to acquire it, the Ring cycle explores the relationship between love and earthly power and the themes of yearning and loss, all within a setting of medieval legend. The Prologue Das Rheingold depicts the theft and subsequent surrender of the ring forged from the Rhinemaidens’ gold by the Nibelung dwarf Alberich.

In a busy city like Hong Kong, when and where can classical music be heard? The answer is almost anytime, anywhere. The Hong Kong Philharmonic, the flagship orchestra in the city and one of Asia's leading orchestras, believes that classical music should be accessible to all. So at its 2012/13 Season Launch on 15 May 2012, the orchestra staged a surprise visit for the large crowd gathered, unexpected. The result of the flash mob performance of Ravel's Boléro? Sheer joy. Conductor: Johannes Wildner For more information on the Hong Kong Philharmonic and its 2012/13 season lineup, visit our website: http://www.hkphil.org Follow us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hong-Kong-Philharmonic-Orchestra/63613221343

http://bookinghunter.com Hong Kong is one of the most exciting cities in the world. What makes this city so vibrant and energetic? It is nearly seven million residents. The city has a unique blend of Western and Chinese culture, which seem to co-exist very well and help make this city so fascinating. The most important places to visit in Hong Kong are: The Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery (this statue is one of the five largest statues of Chin), The Victoria Peak (this is something like a top view or a view point from where you can see the entire city of Hong Kong), Avenue of Stars (a place of tribute to the film stars, both past and present Hong Kong cinemas) and many more. This video offers a lot of tips to help you plan the perfect vacation. If you want to save time and money, the mos...
When I reflect back on our travels around Asia few memories are fonder than our time spent in both Hong Kong and Macau. From the fascinating attractions in both cities to the amazing local eats we really packed in a lot over a short period of time. Some of the top highlights included eating dim sum, taking boat rides, viewing the symphony of lights, eating Macanese street food, frequenting casinos and marveling at the views of both cities from high vantage points.

Lea Salonga - Singing from her heart October 02,2016 Sha Tin Town Hall Auditorium Hong Kong
On 13th March, the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra announced that Music Director Jaap van Zweden's contract with the orchestra is going to be extended. The new contract will last through to the end of the 2018/19 season. The orchestra also has something else to celebrate. This year marks its fortieth anniversary. Ben Pelletier went to speak to Jaap van Zweden at the beginning of the current season, as he was preparing to conduct Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Maps can be both science and art. Of course, they have to be accurate, to show people how to get where they want to go. But historical maps in particular are also artistic renderings of reality. An exhibition at the Hong Kong Maritime Museum shows us one of the great historical maps, in the exhibition "Mapping Ming China's Maritime Wor...
Kraft: Timpani Concerto Nr. 2 - James Boznos / Hong Kong Philharmonic conducted by Xian Zhang. This is the world premiere performance of the revised version of the original piece written for David Herbert and the SFS.

The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra has a new Music Director, Jaap van Zweden. Jaap was born in Amsterdam, and in little more than a decade from first taking up the baton he became one of the world's most in-demand conductors. At 19 he became the youngest principal violinist or concertmaster ever of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. While he was there, Leonard Bernstein urged him to try conducting. He began his conducting career only in 1995, but last November he received the Conductor of the Year Award 2012. Jaap is joining the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra on a four year initial contract. The Works went to talk to him as he rehearsed for his first concert with the orchestra. You've probably seen, all around Hong Kong, paintings of Chinese people laughing hysterically as they go abou...
