Percussion – Rossini X Four Gig Heads
How can plastic pipes bring Italian composer Gioacchino Rossini's William Tell Overture to perfection? Can lighters and coffee mugs be used as musical instruments? Sophine Lee and Fung Kei Wah, two students of the Hong Kong Red Cross John F. Kennedy Centre, will perform with percussion group Made in Hong Kong@Four Gig Heads in a brisk and fascinating performance that rediscovers the origins of life and music.
