Clara TSANG

  • November 3, 2016

clara Ms Clara Tsang, who graduated from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, majoring in Music (Cello Performance), is a talented cellist with a great sense of music and expression. While she was studying, she has been actively involved in a variety of musical projects such as performing with the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, the New Philharmonic of Hong Kong, the Pan-Asia Symphony Orchestra, The Symphony Orchestra Academy of the Pacific in Canada, and the Hong Kong Chamber Orchestra, and in the Pacific Music Festival 2005. As well, she also took parts in various music performances such as live concerts, recordings for musical videos and CD tracks, and multimedia events.

As well, her passion and vision in bringing music to the public has led her to establish Hong Kong Cellist Society in 2004 which aims to provide a platform to all musicians for music exchange and sharing and opportunities for performance, to nurture a healthy appetite for classical music, and to encourage interaction between musicians and the public by organizing Hong Kong Cello Festival, Cappuccino Moment and Forever Red Project (FRP) and the Young Musicians Performance Program (YMPP) to the local music scene. Ms Tsang held her debut recital in 2008 and since 2012, with FRP’s support, she collaborated with local and international musicians to present and experiment on the fusion and exchange of different genre and styles. In 2014, Ms Tsang made her first international debut in Carneige Hall, New York in 2014 with the fellowship granted by Asian Society. In 2015, FRP featured Ms Tsang in two concerts with new concepts – a “Serendipity” encounter with modern dance and “The moment” of groundbreaking performance on music and the theory and philosophy of martial art, Wing Chun – which brought veteran dancer and martial art master to the stage to perform with the cellist.

Clara Tsang gathers her friends, including local pianist Charles Lau as well as one remarkable soloist from abroad, violist player Yoko Mano from Japan, to give a trio concert “Rendezvous” this year.
