香港管弦樂團首席長笛史德琳聯同著名鋼琴家張緯晴，為大家呈獻一個精緻的長笛獨奏會。為音樂會揭開序幕和完場的皆是法國作曲家的作品。開場曲「長笛及鋼琴組曲」可能是高達最著名的作品，透過三個精彩的樂章充分展現了長笛的魅力。波爾尼本身是一位長笛演奏家，也是長笛教育家，精於長笛設計的他同時也為長笛曲目作出重大貢獻，他的《卡門幻想曲》肯定是他最廣為傳頌之作。連結首尾的樂曲是莫扎特愉悅的C大調行板，就在莫扎特生日（1月27日）前夕，細聽魔笛的呼喚，盡情享受迷人的聲音。 HK Phil Principal Flute, Megan Sterling, teams up with renowned pianist Rachel Cheung, to present a sublime recital. The performance starts and ends with music by French composers Benjamin Godard and François Borne. The opening Suite is perhaps Godard’s most popular work and showcases the brilliance of the flute in three well-crafted movements. Being both a flautist and an educator, Borne was an expert on flute design who contributed significantly to the flute repertoire. His Fantaisie Brillante on Themes from Bizet’s Carmen is his most celebrated composition. Between these French works comes Mozart’s delightful Andante in C. Let’s celebrate Mozart’s birthday (27 Jan) with the inviting sound of the magic flute. *** Programme 01:47 高達 長笛及鋼琴組曲，op. 116 GODARD Suite de trois morceaux, op. 116 13:21 莫扎特 C大調行板，K. 315 MOZART Andante in C, K. 315 20:19 波爾尼 《卡門幻想曲》 BORNE Fantaisie brillante sur Carmen === Let's keep the music playing.

OZNO: Zoon (2020) op.11F for flute and mp3 Megan Sterling, flute (OZNO is the pen-name of James Boznos) www.jamesboznos.com ZOON, noun {zoh-on}: any individual, or the individuals collectively, produced from a single egg. In fact, the word can have other meanings: the famous Dutch Flautist, the sound of a drone, or even an anagram of OZNO. The Zoon Project is s an instrumental prism; a spectral hearing of the same thing, yet refracted through disparate lenses of color, realized through different instrumentations. Similar to Berio’s Sequenzas or Davidovsky’s Synchronisms, this is a collection of solo works, but with the different instrumentalists playing the same piece, adjusted accordingly. There is a version for almost every instrument in the orchestra. The mp3 for each work is slightly different, but in each; layers of material from the solo part are transformed as premonitions/echoes and mixed with drones. This piece is a continuous interplay of “is it live or Memorex”. The three movements are played attacca: I. Rubix - a mathematical drone of permutations like a Rubik’s Cube; a constant shift of the equations. II. Nisia - a form of music from the Greek Islands, the ‘drone’ of water arriving to the beach in waves; a force of nature that comes in and out of our attention. III. The Glass - the drone of a mirror reflecting an empty room, of that which is both there and not there.   Zoon and Social Distancing https://youtu.be/6mSIDW4Jc6o, have been my two video projects in response to the performing predicament as imposed by the COVID pandemic. In spite of our profession as a giant musical body known as the philharmonic orchestra, we’ve nevertheless been asked to do considerably more solo projects, performed in isolation through videos, and I therefore thought it appropriate to have some of our players perform and interpret each refraction from the prism, enhance visually through the use of different video filters. The pieces are dedicated to the first performers, who are mainly virtuosos, colleagues, and friends from the Hong Kong Philharmonic. In the video section of my website, the first instalment of 10 videos of these first performances are available. #Meg Sterling, flute https://youtu.be/NHHrYGgAnhY #Andrew Ling, viola https://youtu.be/QutxdH2kSpg #Matthew Lau, vibraphone https://youtu.be/b8mrPUuqaq8 #Linda Stuckey, piccolo https://youtu.be/uxO5Vbc3HNQ #Lorenzo Iosco, bass clarinet https://youtu.be/tn-uUTkIJ7s Linda Stuckey, piccolo - #James Boznos, vibraphone https://youtu.be/5vOXZuuiNBg #Richard Bamping, cello https://youtu.be/OZE8Mc-vnWc #John Schertle, e-flat clarinet https://youtu.be/Q9HIf-yRXog #Wang Liang, violin https://youtu.be/Afdwvm47MmE #Andrew Simon, clarinet https://youtu.be/ZGKKWwzMPXc If you’re interested in a copy of the music, please ask, and I’ll send it to you.
