Swing dance and swing music emerged in the same era but went on to develop separately. As a result, performances of both at the same event became less frequent. Now, almost a century on, Hong Kong’s Saturday Night Jazz Orchestra and 30 dancers from Shanghai Swings have joined forces to create a swing party featuring dance and music in a nostalgic step along memory lane.

Contemporary jazz emerged in the 1970s, integrating jazz, pop and rock music. If you want to fall in love with such sounds, don’t miss this concert.

Pianist and arranger Ted Lo is a distinguished Hong Kong musician. He gained his reputation as a master of jazz in the US and Europe and has also successfully established himself as a composer and producer. He has worked with numerous world-class musicians. Eugene Pao is Hong Kong’s most publicly recognised jazz guitarist and some say his name is synonymous with Hong Kong jazz. He has performed with many international stars.

Other jazz musicians from Hong Kong and Shanghai will also join Ted and Eugene for several wonderful shows.

CitySpeakXVI: From Sai Wan to a Nature Conservation Policy

CitySpeakXVII: From Sai Wan to a Nature Conservation Policy
Fringe Club
Saturday, 18 September 2010
10:00am-12:30pm

Sai Wan, Hoi Ha, To Kwa Peng … the list of conservation areas destroyed by development is long. Rescued by ‘facebook’, the question now is whether we can make sure that Sai Wan is the last site of high ecological and landscape value to be destroyed.
CitySpeak will focus on planning and development of the New Territories, the small house policy, our nature conservation policy (and lack thereof) and the calls for a nature conservation trust. How far should we go to conserve Hong Kong’s natural assets? How far do you want Hong Kong to go – and are we willing to pay the price?
Join academics, concern groups, and officials in a discussion and let your views be heard.
