Re-Tune
Regrettably, our Music Salons in the First Semester, like many other music events in Hong Kong, were cancelled, due to the local social unrests. Now it’s time to re-wind the fun and joy of music stories and friendship; and re-spin the intellectual swirls via music. Let’s re-kindle the spark of our music lives! Our moody atmosphere and audiophile sound system are all re-set and ready for you.
