The HK Phil Community Concert 2026: Symphonic Dances

Yuen Long Theatre

Rachel Cheung opens our new Sunday Piano Series with a programme of imagination, dramatic contrasts and virtuosity. The opening of Beethoven’s Moonlight sonata is probably the most famous single movement he ever wrote, and the sonata itself is a masterpiece, described by Beethoven as ‘like a fantasy’, with the contrasting movements ending in a fast and furious presto. Schumann’s eight characterful pieces alternate between his vying personas, the dreamy and romantic Florestan and the active and passionate Eusebius. Finally, Liszt’s showpiece was based on Gounod’s opera and combines his fascination with the Faust legend with a way to include the latest operatic news in his flamboyant recitals.
