Guangdong Music Series : Lecture Series: Cantonese Music in Hong Kong

(Conducted in Cantonese)

Free Seating

The music of Guangdong, with its diverse variants such as nanyin, Cantonese music, spirit music and Cantonese Opera, has marked its presence in Hong Kong for over a hundred years. The subgenres have developed along their own lines, but they remain linked by their historical roots. Together they have morphed into a unique indigenous culture in the local community. For this lecture series, Ho Kang-ming and Chan Chi-chun, two players and researchers of Cantonese music, will engage in an enlightening dialogue. It will be supplemented by valuable recordings and video clippings, as well as exchanges with guest speakers in talk and in music, to offer insights into the music legacy of Guangdong.
