Hong Kong’s public broadcaster Radio television Hong Kong (RTHK) Radio 4 celebrated the Chinese New Year (CNY) with a gathering at its broadcasting house.
CNY fell on February 19 and marked the beginning of the year of the goat.
RTHK’s celebrations brought together hundreds of its employees and representatives from other HK media organisations to deliver holiday greetings to the public.
Radio 4 has also commissioned a piece titled ‘Spring Rhapsody’ from local composer Ng Cheuk-yin to mark the occasion.
A fusion of Western and Chinese instruments including sheng, sanxian, zheng, a jazz trio and a string quartet, it will be performed by RTHK Quartet and SIU 2.
The programme will be aired on Radio 4 at 2 pm on February 24.
