Cello Masterclass by CHOR Kai-hei

The Awardees Association co-organised two Masterclasses with the Music Office this year with an aim to promote musical knowledge to the community. The first Masterclass was conducted by cellist CHOR Kai-hei on 11 December 2021. Four students played pieces by Bach, Saint-Saëns and Bruch. Mr CHOR provided guidance on music interpretation and encouraged them to learn more about the stories behind the music works. He also demonstrated some performance techniques and useful practice tips.
