Hong Kong’s classical music and fine arts station has launched a special website to help celebrate its 40th birthday.
The site, http://app4.rthk.hk/special/r440/index.php, aims to give listeners insights into more than a dozen events planned to mark the occasion.
Launched in 1974 by public broadcaster RTHK, Radio 4 broadcasts western classical, jazz, world, Chinese, and contemporary music and also features concert recordings, studio concerts, educational programmes and arts news.
Here are some of the event highlights:
June: New Generation Concerts / Match-making Concerts (featuring works by HK composers)
September: Music DJ @ Schools & Moonlight Serenade (a concert to celebrate also the Mid Autumn Festival)
October: RTHK Quartet 5th Anniversary Concert
November: Music Beyond Borders at New Vision Arts Festival
December: 40th Anniversary Concert & Christmas Concert in the Park (closing event).
