In 2026, Rebecca Pan celebrates her 95th birthday. Relocating to Hong Kong in 1949, she established herself as a cross‑cultural
pioneer of Chinese popular music. Alongside a remarkable career in entertainment—including unforgettable roles in films by Wong Kar‑wai,
Ann Hui, and Hou Hsiao‑hsien—Pan worked tirelessly to position Hong Kong as an international arts hub.
From captivating audiences as a singer, to pioneering original musicals, to leaving her mark on cinema, Pan’s journey continually
redefined popular culture. Each transformation broke boundaries, proving that art can transcend expectations and inspire across
generations.
She was among the first to blend Chinese melodies with English lyrics, becoming a cultural ambassador for Hong Kong. With her singular
charm and avant‑garde vision, she inscribed a vital chapter in the city’s role as a meeting point of East and West. Her musicals revealed a
distinctive aesthetic—unconventional yet deeply moving, and enduring in greatness.
Inspired by Pan’s legacy, this tribute concert unites Hong Kong and French singers to highlight the timelessness of her musical
journey. In the 1960s, her songs swept across the Chinese music scene, recorded in multiple languages and diverse styles, cementing her as a
true pioneer.
