Kunqu Workshop



Kunqu is a comprehensive art form combining traditional culture, literature, music, and stage performances. In 2001, it was declared as one of the “Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity”. This Workshop is a foundational class in Kunqu (Kun Opera), and it is our honour to invite Dr. Chan Chun Miu to deliver a series of 10 workshops from 12 April to 14 June 2023, 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm, in the 2/F, Activity Room, Art Museum East Wing.

Dr. Chan Chun Miu, the instructor of the Workshop, is an expert in Kunqu Studies. During the Workshop, he introduced the history of Kunqu to participants, demonstrated singing and performance skills and guided participants in studying three “qu” (songs) to prepare for the coming Kunqu Night Performance on 21 June 2023.

Kunqu Night 2023



Thanks to the generous sponsorship of the G.S. Charity Foundation, ICS collaborated with the “Concordia Kunqu Society of Hong Kong” in organising the “Kunqu Night 2023” in the Foyer of the Art Museum East Wing on the evening of 21 June. The event was divided into two sessions, and it successfully attracted about 80 participants to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.

The performance was delivered by the participants of the “ICS Experiencing Chinese Culture Series Kunqu Workshop”, members of the Concordia Kunqu Society of Hong Kong, and Kunqu lovers from Shenzhen. As many as 27 pieces of qu were performed that night, including “The Peony Pavilion”, “The Legend of Purple Hairpin”, “Sea of Sin”, “The Legend of the White Snake”, and other classic Kunqu works.

As “Kunqu Night 2023” was also the last session of the “Kunqu Workshop”, a group of participants performed in front of the audience to demonstrate the beauty of Kunqu.
