6 The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (HKPO) is one of Asia s leading orchestras. Enriching Hong Kong s cultural life for over a century, the Orchestra has grown into a formidable ensemble of Chinese and international talents in the last three decades, attracting world-class artists to perform on the same stage. HKPO annually touches the lives of 200,000 music lovers through more than 150 performances. Under the leadership of its internationally renowned conductor Edo de Waart, HKPO continues to scale new heights in musical excellence. The continuing cycle of Mahler symphonies and challenging programming outside the traditional repertoire, have become highly anticipated events as well as musical milestones for the Orchestra. Beethoven s Fidelio opera-inconcert and Mahler s Das Lied von der Erde are inarguably the major highlights of the 2009/10 season. Many great artists perform with the HKPO, from pianists Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Boris Berezovsky and Paul Lewis, violinist Sarah Chang to cellist Steven Isserlis. The visit of the legendary Gennadi Rozhdestvensky is also an event not to be missed. From April 2006, The Swire Group Charitable Trust became the Hong Kong Philharmonic s Principal Patron, enabling Maestro de Waart s artistic vision for the Orchestra to be realized. Swire s sponsorship of the Hong Kong Philharmonic, the largest in the Orchestra s history, supports artistic growth and development as the Orchestra takes its place on the world stage, and brings performances of musical excellence to the widest possible public.

7 HKPO stays in tune with our city by presenting the orchestra in unexpected venues and bringing the excitement of the concert experience to every home through radio and television broadcasts. These included, the largest symphonic event of the year, Swire Symphony Under the Stars at Happy Valley. The Orchestra runs a comprehensive schools education programme, Creative Notes, bringing the joy of classical music to primary, secondary and special school kids, and once in a while, the Orchestra drops the formality of the classical concerts to crossover with Western and Chinese pop stars. The Orchestra also builds its reputation and raises its artistic standards by touring. In 2007/08 season, the Orchestra performed in the Shanghai Spring International Music Festival and the Beijing Music Festival. In 2009, the Orchestra undertook a major six-concert tour of China, including the Xinghai Concert Hall in Guangzhou, Beijing s National Centre for the Performing Arts and Shanghai Grand Theatre under the leadership of Maestro Edo de Waart. In February 2008, the Hong Kong Arts Development Council honoured the HKPO with the Arts Promotion Award, in recognition of its success in expanding its audience base and gaining public support in recent years. The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra is financially supported by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region SWIRE is the Principal Patron of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra is the Venue Partner of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre

12 Mark Vines horn Originally from England, Mark Vines received his first musical training on the piano at the age of seven. His first attempt at brass playing came a few years later, when he succeeded in a school audition to get a single note out of a tenor horn. A few months later he switched to French horn, on which he gained his first orchestral experience with the Hampshire County Youth Orchestra. Subsequent international tours with this orchestra convinced Mark that he wished to both perform and travel for a living, a desire that was to eventually lead to him joining the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra as Principal Horn. Mark continued his studies at both the University of Manchester and the Royal Northern College of Music. During this time, he reached the national semi-finals of the Shell/LSO Music Scholarship, was a prizewinner at the Birmingham International Horn Competition, and became a member of the European Union Youth Orchestra. In 1998, Mark won the prestigious Charles Leggett Award for Horn. After graduating, Mark went on to become an active freelance musician around the UK, playing regularly with the Halle Orchestra, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Welsh National Opera, Manchester Camerata and BBC Philharmonic, including performances at the London Proms. Mark is now in his twelfth season with the HKPO, during which time he has appeared as a soloist with the orchestra on several occasions, and has also played as Guest Principal Horn with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra in Australia, the Kyushu Symphony Orchestra in Japan, and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.
