默契是音樂演出不可或缺的精萃,但在疫症的籠罩下,音樂家已多月無法與同儕排練和演出。自16世紀起,空間距離一直是作曲家的靈感之源,不少作品與建築結構互相呼應。結合兩者,多媒體藝術家成博民邀請香港管弦樂團的音樂家,於大館獨特的空間演奏作曲家龐樂思的新作《社交距離》。在分隔多月後,身兼樂團首席定音鼓的龐樂思與同儕再次聚首一堂,在大館以音樂、影像和建築記錄這不平凡的時光。

Synopsis: The pandemic has kept musicians apart from each other for months and has undermined the instinctual nuance of collaboration which is at the heart of any musical performance. Since the 16th Century, spatial distance has inspired composers to write music which makes architecture resonate. As Hong Kong’s musicians re-assembled amid months of isolation, multi-media artist Oliver Shing celebrates unique architectural spaces through music and film, placing them into the iconic structures of Tai Kwun to perform the new work Social Distancing by composer James Boznos. Boznos, who is also HK Phil’s Principal Timpanist, collaborates with his colleagues to perform the work that speaks to the disconnection of the pandemic experience, and celebrates architecture, music, isolation and coming together.
