Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Tsim Sha Tsui | HK Phil: Kahchun Wong Conducts Mahler 7

Description

We regret to inform you that conductor Daniele Gatti will be unable to travel to Hong Kong for the advertised “Daniele Gatti Conducts Mahler 7” concert on 23 JAN 2026 at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Concert Hall, following medical advice after a minor procedure.

We are delighted that conductor Kahchun Wong has kindly agreed to step in to conduct this concert. The concert has therefore been retitled “Kahchun Wong Conducts Mahler 7” and the programme remains unchanged.

Programme

MAHLER | Symphony no. 7 in E minor

Maestro Kahchun Wong, winner of the Fifth Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition, returns to lead the HK Phil in Mahler’s majestic Seventh Symphony. Often referred to as Mahler’s "Song of the Night," this symphony weaves an extravagant tapestry of orchestral colour, showcasing unconventional instruments like the tenor horn, mandolin and guitar, along with distinctive writing that gives each section of the orchestra its moment to shine.

The concert runs approximately 80 minutes without an intermission. Latecomers will not be admitted

For ages 6 and above
