• GSO&U Club Event

    Each excellent concert on offer truly serves the public; every encounter invites music lovers into candid conversations with performers and conductors; every time musicians come face to face with the public we enjoy our camaraderie—At the inaugural GSO Symphonic Playground, competitors played handbells. Some had to step on wooden boards to rhythm, while learning about music through games. When we had a music variety show ’GSO’s Got Talent!’, music fans did everything from playing instruments to singing. We shared the joy of music. Not only does the GSO provide music, the GSO provides love! @June (GSO&U Club member)

  • Pre-Concert Talk

    Beginning in September 2013, the GSO devised free pre-concert lectures, with the aim of elevating audience appreciation and enhancing the musical experience. I was the first speaker in the series. The process of music appreciation is a complex psychological journey. There are so many ways to understand music, with so many entry points along the way. During the 2013/2014 season, I gave a total of seven pre-concert lectures covering a variety of topics, providing background information as well as advice as to how to listen to the music, adding onto them my personal take on these compositions. In the following seasons, the GSO’s pre-concert lectures began to expand in breadth and depth, inviting performers to speak, which served two wonderful purposes: bringing audiences and performers together, and allowing performers to share their experience and thoughts directly with their public, thus making the concert experience a far more immersive encounter!@Chow Fan Fu, renowned music critic
