The Hong Kong Professional Winds is a newly established orchestra created by Dr. Yip Wai Hong to promote brass and winds music. Members of the orchestra and its conductors are all well-known and sought-after musicians in Hong Kong who have studied in conservatories here or abroad. Dr. Yip hopes that the orchestra will develop for them a formidable platform on which they can present performances and demonstrations regularly. HKPW will introduce and educate the general public of the versatility of these brilliant yet lyrical instruments, allowing a wide audience to recognize its history, musical styles and characteristics. Simultaneously, local youth and music students will benefit when they hear great repertoire from this genre of Classical music.
