“Il pleure dans mon cœur, Comme il pleut sur la ville.” The theme of this concert is inspired by the celebrated verse of Paul Verlaine—the “prince of French poets” and a pioneer of Symbolism—as well as by the relentlessly romantic French classic The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Spanning two centuries, the program moves from Bizet's Symphony No. 1 to the haunting tenderness of Debussy’s melodies and then to the timeless stage radiance of goddess Dalida. These timeless notes are like vividly colored umbrellas, shielding you and me from the cold rain outside while guarding the tenderness within.
Eric is the Music Director of the Asian Chamber Orchestra, leading its players with passion and dedication. He began studying French horn in childhood and graduated from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts in 1991. He later studied conducting with Yu Feng, Artistic Director of the Central Opera House in Beijing, and in 2008 served as Assistant Conductor of the Vietnam Opera House Orchestra under Fukumura Yoshikazu. Currently, he is a board member of the Chinese Horn Association (Hong Kong) and serves as Music Director and Principal Conductor of both the Asian Chamber Orchestra and the Asian Music Association Symphony Orchestra.
