Free admission with ticket
It is hard to miss this ‘King of the Instruments’, handmade pipe organ by Austrian manufacturer Rieger Orgelbau, when you are inside the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Concert Hall. To expose the public to this pipe organ’s amazing power as well as its wide range of sounds and huge variety of tone colours, the Centre has invited two outstanding local organists to host this education concert, in which they will illustrate the origin and evolution, the structure, and comparison with other musical instruments through audio-visual displays and live demonstrations to enable the audience to learn more about the playing techniques and appreciation of different styles of organ music; thus stimulating their interest in this ‘King of the Instruments’.
