With his passion for classical and fingerstyle guitar, local guitarist Jacky Lau has appeared on the show several times. In 2013, he brought guitar masters Tommy Emmanuel and Martin Taylor to our studio. But he has recently been facing somewhat tough times. We paid him a visit to see how music and his faith keeps him going.
As it has for more than two years, Covid-19 is still circulating worldwide, with different places adopting a wide range of strategies to control or attempt to live with it. It continues to make life difficult, not only – of course - for those who catch it, but also for organisations, including arts and music organisations, setting up events with international participation. For the annual Hong Kong Arts Festival, it has meant many adjustments to planned programming. Now, as Hong Kong is facing its fifth wave of the pandemic, many of this year’s planned in-venue programmes, such as a collaboration with Tai Kwun, have had to be cancelled. Still the festival has continued, with many overseas programmes accessible through online viewing. Its programme director Grace Lang is here to tell us more about that, and about the fourth edition of “No Limits”, a programme that showcases artists of different abilities.
