competence dedication inspiration
Established in 2018, Pacific Cello Orchestra Hong Kong (PCO) is a summer music program for cellists of advanced levels under the age of 18, aiming to share the pure enjoyment of music and to provide them with the rare chance of a professional music-making experience. The repertoires that PCO perform include existing compositions written for cello ensemble, arrangements and new compositions commissioned by the HKICA written particularly for PCO.
In 2018, PCO made its début at the annual Hong Kong Airport Proms with critical acclaim; the grand concert received a full subscription. PCO 2019 was extended to a 14-day program. The young cellists collaborated with clarinetist Lau Wai for Weber's Concertino and premiered Cheung Pui Shan's new commission written for PCO among other repertoires. They performed at the historical site at Tai Kwun, the HKAPA, as well as Zhong Shan Cultural Centre in Guangdong. The performance of these young cellists inspired our audience with their extraordinary concentration and immense dedication to music and remarkable musicianship.
HKICA rigorously selected 20 young cellists to participate in PCO 2020. This summer program will not only serve as a platform for these talented, competent young cellists to showcase their musicality, it provides them with a precious opportunity to benefit from the faculty members, to collaborate with other cellists, as well as to build new friendships.
If there was ever a purpose of playing music, it would be to play for the love of music.
