“Creating such a concert wasn’t an easy task,” says Conductor PANG Ka Pang. “Those legendary masterpieces are the best of the best works of film soundtrack masters, and are too familiar to western movie and music fans.” he explains, “In translating the score to a live performance, including the mix and instrumentation, we want to express the charm of these pieces, but also love to exhibit the special characteristics of our orchestra.

You cannot escape that you are experiencing musicians performing the musical score while you are engaged in the storytelling of the film.” A super large LED screen is shipped and constructed on the stage to emphasize the unique of visual effect. “If I am not mistaken, we only have seen only 4 shows ever using such large LED screens.” A technician guy of the venue told us. “We’ll ‘listen’ the movie and ‘watch’ the music.
