The Carnival Musical Spectacular
During a rehearsal for the Christmas Circus, the circus's playful animal performers get a little too excited. In their enthusiasm, they accidentally knock over the sleigh filled with gifts, causing them to scatter across the carnival. Ringo the Ringmaster must rally the audience to help track down the gifts, using musical circus tricks along the way!
Ringo and his band of performers — Jolly the Juggler, who engages the crowd with dazzling juggling routines, Chloe the Clown, whose comedic antics bring laughter and joy, and Tara the Tightrope Walker, who inspires the audience with graceful balance — embark on a heartwarming quest to recover the lost treasures with the help of the audience.
As the enchanting SAR Philharmonic Orchestra leads with inspiring music, each act becomes an interactive adventure. From playful dance-offs to humorous skits, the audience participates in the search, learning the true meaning of giving and community along the way.
As the performances unfold, Ringo and his friends discover that the greatest gift is not just the physical treasures but the joy, laughter, and connection shared among everyone. The show culminates in a grand celebration, reinforcing the spirit of Christmas as they all come together to restore the magic of the season.

Hong Kong Sinfonietta: Welcome to the New World
Associate Conductor : Vivian Ip
A heart-to-heart talk between Smetana and Dvořák – the giants of Czech music
on the occasion of Smetana’s 200th birthday celebration and Czech Year of Music
We remember Smetana and Dvořák as two of the best-known Czech composers today – probably because of Dvořák’s New World Symphony and Smetana’s My Fatherland. But we know much less of Dvořák and Smetana as we do other composers of the day. Today, through “live” conversations between the two composers, and possibly with the audience, we will be able to find out more about these men behind the music, especially of Dvořák, whose New World Symphony will be analysed as well as performed.
We let the composers introduce and speak for themselves about their lives and work… and let you into their world. “Which train did you take to come to this concert? I want to know the model number.” This could be how a typical conversation with Dvořák started, especially with his students. Now who would have guessed that Dvořák was a train fanatic!
Come and find out more about the composers and enjoy a concert with activities and information!
Programme
Smetana
My Fatherland: The Moldau
Dvořák
Symphony No 9 in E minor, Op 95, “From the New World”
