MUSIC
Hong Kong offers a unique opportunity for people of East and West to learn about and to enjoy each others' music. Both kinds are heard constantly on radio and television-and in hundreds of live per- formances which range from Chinese opera to Bach oratorios, from pop groups to pipa recitals, from sitars to symphony orchestras or to Filipino music in the night-spots. At the City Hall in 1975 there were some 300 concerts of Chinese and Western music, while each February the Hong Kong Arts Festival presents four full weeks of music as well as other produc- tions. Leading orchestras, singers, actors and other artistes from overseas join with local performers in this international fes- tival, at which audiences total around- 50,000 and include visitors from many parts of the world.
