“What a way it was to start the festive month! Music, community, commitment. Sublime selection of music, performed with passion to a music loving crowd, many totally new to the classical world. An ad hoc quartet delivered total commitment to music making in a convivial, casual salon environment. What’s not to love about this?
On the chill evening of December 1st, fans, friends and family gathered for an evening of live and recorded classical and romantic string quartets under the auspices of The Q - dedicated to reinventing concert experience and supporting up-and-coming talents, The Q innovatively juxtaposed concert performances with iconic recordings of the same movements, played through the rare Vox Olympian horn speakers.
One highlight among many was the performance of Beethoven’s inexpressively moving Op.130 “Cavatina”, also the final track of Golden Record on NASA’s Interstellar Voyager, communicating the best humanity has to offer to life that may exist in other galaxies. This is truly beyond time and place. Everyone in the salon was awed.
Such is the power of music.
Such was the power of The Q’s inaugural Hong Kong evening.”
