PolyU Orchestra • Music Connects - Violin Solo - Li Guo-quan's Fisherman's Song at Eventide

Music Connects is an online music programme of the PolyU Orchestra. Members of the Orchestra have continued to produce music despite the pandemic.
 
Under the guidance of Mr Leung Kin-fung, the Artistic Director and Conductor, the PolyU Orchestra is presenting to you a wide range of musical genres in this series of Music Connects.

The origins of Fisherman's Song at Eventide go back to an ancient Zheng melody called Gui Qu Lai (Returning), which depicted sails shining in the sunset and fishing boats returning peacefully from a successful day’s fishing. This arrangement was made by Li Guo Quan (1914-1966) who for many years was assistant conductor of both the Hong Kong Chinese Symphony Orchestra and the Central Experimental Opera House Orchestra.
