Even if you don’t recognise the name John Rutter, you’ve likely heard some of his modern carols or church music. He was recently in Hong Kong for a series of master classes and a performance. We went to talk to him.
Last week’s Asia Tuba Euphonium Festival at the Chinese University of Hong Kong featured around 50 players from Norway, the United States, Korea, Japan, Thailand and Taiwan. While they were here, tuba players, Oystein Baadsvik from Norway and Benjamin Pierce from the United States came in to talk to fellow brass musician, Ben Pelletier.
On July 13th, Nobel Peace Prize winner and dissident, Liu Xiaobo died of liver cancer at 61. News of Liu’s death, and any public or social media displays of grief, were heavily censored in the mainland. Around the world though, people did pay tribute, some by reading his “Final Statement” as part of a marathon reading organised here in Hong Kong by artist Sampson Wong and his "Add Oil Team."
