Pre-Festival Programme of "Hong Kong Pop Culture Festival 2023" – Pop Unplugged

Pop Unplugged is the prelude to the “Hong Kong Pop Culture Festival 2023”.  Johnny Yim, the Arrangerman of the local pop scene, has handpicked Cantopop classics spanning the 1980s to the present day.  Yim has arranged them into unplugged versions that will be covered by young powerhouse singers James Ng, Mag Lam, Kayee Tam, Vivian Koo, popular band Zpecial, and singers of the new generation Yumi Chung, Windy Zhan, Archie Sin, Rock Ho and Felix Lam with live band accompaniment in refreshing styles, thus injecting new elements into these timeless pieces and recreating classics from the Golden Era of Cantopop.

The concert will feature classic works of different eras as the theme, with the songs of legendary stars in the 1980s and the “kings” and “queens” of the local pop scene in the 1990s and 2000s.  Theme songs from TV dramas will also be performed to pay a tribute to the late veteran composer Joseph Koo.  The finale will include smash hits of pop stars at the present day, to conclude the concert with the showcase of endless charisma of Hong Kong's pop music.  Radio host Alex Lee will be the emcee of the performances.

The performance will run for about 2 hours without intermission.
