Last Sunday we went to a free admission classical music concert, "Mozart and More in the Museum", performed by the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, at the Museum of Art in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Since watching the Japanese drama and anime "Nodame Cantabile", I fell in love with classical music. I even craved playing piano again. (My mom and dad must be so happy hearing me say this, hahaha...)
The Classical Music Concert
The Orchestra performed 3 main movements.
Schubert's String Quartet in A minor.
Mendelssohn’s Octet for Strings
And my favorite of the day, Mozart’s String Quintet in G minor. The lead violinist on the leftmost seat was super awesome!! He played so effortlessly and beautifully!!
The whole audience was listening carefully and appreciatively the whole time.
Even the little baby!! haha... =D
After the Concert
We walked around the area a bit after the concert finished.
Space Museum. (Yea, the weather was a bit crappy that day, mostly cloudy and foggy.)
A colorful painting outside the wall of the Museum of Art.
Another wall art contributed by students.
"Hi Mike!!"
We then proceeded to the water front. This is a must-go place every time we come to Tsim Sha Tsui. Always so pretty!
Though we usually come at night to watch the Symphony of Light electronic light show. This might be one of the very few times we come during the day time.
My attention was soon captured by this traditional-looking wooden ship.
Yea, Mike caught the right moment so we could take one with the ship as background.
But..... wait.... our BIG heads blocked most of the ship!! (well... mostly Mike's....)
Hehe... okay, this one was much better!! ^_^
Watching the ship leaving....
Plaza area of the Hong Kong Cultural Center. This area is usually very crowded at night when everyone gathers here to watch the light show.
The other end facing the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center at Wanchai.
"Hello !!!!" (Me "popping up" suddenly, as usual, in Mike's "no people" picture.... haha....)
The "landmark" curvy wall structure at the Cultural Center. (Can you spot the shadow of the Clock Tower on the wall?)
Oh wow... somebody was sleepy already... It's only 5pm.....
Victoria Harbor is soooo pretty! I never get bored just looking at it!!
And from time to time, you can see some really cool-looking ships, just like this one!!
I wonder if the place that we are eventually going to settle will have a stunning harbor like Hong Kong!!!!! ;)
