On the show later, composer and vocalist Keith Wong will be here to tell us about his debut album, “Intertwined” and why he likes to intertwine choral music, theatre and the jazz tradition in his music. Turning to music with a perhaps more local emphasis, last year’s re-run of the original Cantonese musical “The Impossible Trial” was a smash hit, so much so that many were unable to get tickets. For those who couldn’t make it last time, there’s good news: the production is set to return to the stage in 2025. But before that happens, the same creative team behind the script and music for “The Impossible Trial” recently presented another original musical at this year’s Hong Kong Arts Festival.

Among the many guests we’ve invited into the studio or featured in our filmed reports, many of the talented and upcoming younger musicians in Hong Kong are focusing on jazz. One of them is Keith Wong, a vocalist and composer who integrates the jazz tradition with choral music and theatre. A resident artist with the local a capella theatre company Yat Po Singers from 2012 to 2018, Wong went on to study jazz vocals in the Netherlands. He recently released his debut album, “Intertwined” which contains eight of his own original compositions.
