In our Christmas Special last week, we mentioned that some Eastern Orthodox churches and communities celebrate Christmas Day according to the Julian Calendar. Their December 25th is our January 7th. Russia is home to 39% of the world’s Orthodox Christians. Their Christmas holiday begins on New Year’s Day and runs through to the Orthodox Christmas Day, on which many attend Church and then sit down for a 12-course dinner representing the 12 apostles. The traditions of Russia were highlighted in Hong Kong last October, during the first “Russian Culture Week”. The event included film screenings, art exhibitions, performances, readings, cooking, handicraft workshops, a look at Russian traditions such as religious icons, and a tour of a cemetery or two.
Five Hong Kong artists and five artists from Switzerland and Austria came together for a cultural exchange in which the Hong Kong artists travelled to the village of Scuol in Switzerland to explore the idea of objects in space, and questions of place and personal memory, alongside the European artists. Now, in Hong Kong, mirroring their trip, the five artists from Switzerland and Austria have joined forces with the Hong Kong artists for “Interval in Space”, an exhibition at the Osage gallery in Kwun Tong that highlights their own perspective on volume, space and sculpture.
For “Hong Kong Episodes” Jazz guitarist and composer Teriver Cheung and composer and conductor Fung Lam explored Hong Kong through film and music. While on tour with that work, Teriver began to come up with new ideas. Those ideas have coalesced as “Departure”, a 11-piece ensemble that combines jazz and classical music. Teriver’s here right now with Singaporean composer Chok Kerong.
