2019･06･08－巴赫經文歌及布烈頓《聖尼哥拉》Bach Motets & Britten “Saint Nicolas”
眾生皆有困惑之時：米拉城主教尼哥拉曾受逼害身陷囹圄，但憑堅定信心見證無數奇妙恩典；相同的信念由先知以賽亞，到使徒保羅以至馬丁路德，一直為世人於痛苦和試煉當中帶來盼望與力量。 香港和聲藝術總監林敬基，現時亦為美國查爾斯頓交響樂團及伊利諾伊州交響樂團的音樂總監，所指揮的演出獲《紐約時報》評為「美妙平衡又振奮人心」。他將再度帶領香港和聲，聯同首席指揮蔣頌恩為觀眾帶來巴赫及布列頓的音樂， 娓娓道出這些傳奇故事。 Even the best of us had their moments of doubt—Nicolas, Bishop of Myra, was once prosecuted and imprisoned, but through his steadfast faith we saw numerous miracles of piety. The same faith has promised Isaiah the Prophet, Paul the Apostle, Martin Luther and more, hope and strength through their individual ordeals. Praised […] more…
2019･01･05－羅西尼《小莊嚴彌撒曲》Rossini “Petitie Messe Solennelle”
一八六三年，年屆七十一歲的羅西尼在巴黎寫成《小莊嚴彌撒曲》，是他少有的宗教合唱作品，戲稱為他「晚年最後的罪」。羅西尼年輕時的喜歌劇作品膾炙人口，這套彌撒曲也是一貫的睿智明快：近八十分鐘的音樂不帶半點沉重，輕盈典雅的鋼琴及風琴配合震撼人心的合唱，加上如歌劇般抒情華麗的獨唱樂段，就連當時最年青前衛的作曲家也深受啟迪。 香港和聲將在首席指揮蔣頌恩帶領下，與四位香港青年歌唱家羅芷盈、潘子健、李家澍、馮日曦，聯同鋼琴家陳倩婷及風琴演奏家林芍彬一同演出這部合唱傑作。音樂會將於二零一九年一月五日（星期六）晚上八時於國際基督教優質音樂中學暨小學以勒音樂廳舉行，萬勿錯過！ Best known for his comic operas, Rossini retained his signature joy and humour in his Petite Messe Solennelle (1863), calling it “the last mortal sin of my old age”. Written in Paris at the age of 71, this late masterpiece is neither little nor particularly solemn; instead it is an extensive choral work […] more…

2018･01･06－盼望 Hope: Brahms “A German Requiem”
面對母親離世的傷痛，布拉姆斯寫成了他唯一的安魂曲。這首《德意志安魂曲》，以細心揀選的德語聖經段落，代替傳統安魂彌撒的經文，讓合唱團以盼望療傷，安慰世間哀慟的人，昇華成「人」的安魂曲。在黑暗當中，盼望的曙光讓我們確信人性的善與美。 In the wake of his mother’s death, Johannes Brahms wrote his masterpiece A German Requiem. Replacing the Latin texts with passages carefully chosen from the German Bible, the result is (in Brahms’ own words) a “Human” requiem, one that comforts the bereaved with hope in life ahead. In the darkest hour, the […] more…
