For the 2019 Guangdong Music Series, young musicians from Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Macao will come together to give two concerts entitled Cantonese Music Assembly – Together We Make New Sounds. Like leaving footprints in the development history of Cantonese music, they will be not only interpreting classics and giving new arrangements, but also adding to the repository of the genre by performing their new works. The concerts showcase both the splendorous culture of South China and the eagerness for inheritance embraced by the younger generation of musicians.
