What we’re about
Do you know that string quartets in the classical period used to be done on a round table? With a high level of musical education in Hong Kong, I often find it a pity that we do not probably have enough opportunities to jam and to share the joy of classical chamber music...
I see much jazz / pop jamming but not classical, thus establishing this group to call for like-minded musicians. We can book a decent piano venue regularly (Ideally about once a month) and do reading or even rehearsals on piano trios, quartets, quintets... or string quartets, instrumental trios etc... as long as you are up for jamming :D
I myself play the piano and play repertoire like these:
- Major piano quartets / quintets from Schumann, Brahms, Dvorak, Mendelssohn, Franck...
- Many violin sonatas
- Cello sonatas
- some flute, oboe and trumpet collaborations
etc...
I can also do piano duets and duos.
One big dream is to play the end of time by Messiaen...not sure if anyone is up for it? I have the score!
Would be interested to meet new faces and jam...those from the classical period would be easiest for sight-reading and instant jam to start with. I myself can read classical and romantic ones pretty instantly.
The minimum requirement would be:
- decent sight-reading skills
- good musicianship sense
- preferably have performance experience before, particularly in chamber music. But if not it's also fine - everyone has their first try at some point :)
Welcome to join and share about your instrument and any repertoire you would love to play!
