Night, Moon, and Love — Entangling Emotions in Hong Kong

Tenor Jason Li: "Hong Kong is a magical city, where t he lights never fade, and the city's voice is always alive. As people who are born and raised in Hong Kong, we often lose sight of how fast-paced th is city—and our own lives—truly are. We rarely take the time to confront o ur deepest emotions, leaving them neglected, forgotten. But then, on some random night, we might glance up and notice the moon, and in that quiet mo ment, our deepest emotions slowly blossom. As two singers from Hong Kong, we would like to take this opportunity to share a story about an unexpecte d nighttime encounter in Hong Kong, where two young adults with a complex relationship cross paths, awakening emotions hidden deep within their hear ts. As people from Hong Kong who often struggle to express themselves, the y can only rely on the moon to connect with each other. The two singers ac t as the protagonists, searching their innermost desires through songs and dialogues. The programme includes a few Cantonese art songs, together wit h songs from different countries about night, moon and love."

Fa ralae is a fusion of poetry, theater, and music. It is a recital that seeks to bring audiences closer to the work of poet Federico García Lorca and, through it, to a vital part of Spanish culture, history and traditio n. At the heart of the recital lie the Canciones populares españolas that Lorca himself harmonized and adapted. What is extra special is that the re cital is given by two doubly talented artists: both Paula and Yulietta wil l sing and play the piano, creating a connection that transcends the voice alone.

Federico García Lorca (1898–1936) was one o f the most influential poets and playwrights of 20th-century Spanish liter ature. Born in Fuente Vaqueros, Granada, he stood out from an early age fo r his artistic talent and his sensitivity to poetry, music, and theater. H is work, deeply rooted in Andalusian popular traditions, explored universa l themes such as love, death, freedom, and marginalization. Lorca lived hi s homosexuality in a time marked by repression, which made him both vulner able and, at the same time, a symbol of resistance. Beyond his theater, Bl ood Wedding, Yerma, The House of Bernarda Alba, he cultivated a close rela tionship with music: he was a student of the pianist Manuel de Falla, coll ected and harmonized Spanish folk songs, and performed them at the piano a longside La Argentinita. At the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, he was arrested for his liberal ideas and his sexual identity. In August 1936 he was executed near Granada, leaving behind an immortal legacy.
