The CUHK-Shenzhen Chamber Group
The CUHK-Shenzhen Chamber Group was originally formed as a student interest group under the CUHK-Shenzhen Orchestra in 2016 and officially established in 2021. It is a vibrant and creative ensemble made up of talented instrumentalists from the university with a shared passion for music. Dedicated to pushing boundaries of music, the group explores a wide range of chamber music, including saxophone quartets, woodwind and brass ensembles, classical guitar, accordion, along with traditional string quartets. Today, CUHK-Shenzhen Chamber Group has grown into one of the most recognized university-level ensembles, offering diverse and enriching musical experiences for the music enthusiasts.?
CUHK-Shenzhen Chamber Group was mentored by prominent musicians from Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra, such as Associate Principal Cheng Xianwei, Principal Cellist Wu Zhen, and Lesya Kot, Principal of the Second Violin Section. The current instructor is Wayne WANG, a young conductor. The group’s repertoire spans from classical masterpieces like Mozart’sPiano Concerto No. 21?and?Serenade in G Major, Beethoven’s?Piano Concerto No. 5, to modern pieces, such as Joe Hisaishi’s?Castle in the Sky?and?Summer(from?Kikujiro).
In 2023, the group premiered a series of works specially composed by young composer Zhang Tianyang, including a saxophone quartet and jazz drum version of?Fly Me to the Moon?at Shenzhen Concert Hall. In May 2023, it performed the "Voices of Chamber Music" Principal Quintet Concert at the Bay Opera of Shenzhen, showcasing works of Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven, conducted by conductor and pianist Jacky Wong.
