Violinists to perform masterpieces

Korean violinist David Park and local-born violinist Henry Choi will be performing in collaboration with the Pan Asia Symphony Orchestra in Hong Kong. David Park started playing the violin in Korea at the age of 5 and now maintains a balance between his engagements as soloist with orchestras throughout the world, his recital and chamber music activities. Henry Choi also started his musical training at the same age and fell in love with both the violin and the piano. The orchestra has been successfully introducing Chinese orchestral music to the Hong Kong public, raising awareness of the local culture especially to the younger generation. Come and be a part of it with tickets being sold at $110, $90 and $70.
