The Chamber Ensemble sul Ponte is established under nonprofit organization Ponte della Musica in 2014. Musicians of the ensemble are mostly alumni of the Department of Music, HKBU, and local music talents, who share the same mission of contributing to the community through performing arts and music education. Therefore, besides appearing as performers in concerts, musicians also serve as conductors/ instructors of the other five ensembles of Ponte della Musica, namely Junior String Orchestra, Junior Chinese Orchestra, Junior Wind Ensemble, Cello Ensemble, and Voce sul Ponte. Rehearsing all year round, they inspire amateurs, school children to the elderly on the journey of musicianship.
Inspired by this city where East meets West, Ponte della Musica seeks to advocate art music in Hong Kong and puts a strong accent on the melding of Chinese and Western cultures. Through commissioning and delivering fusion art music performances, as well as promoting cross-cultural exchanges, we provide opportunities for young musicians to build on their talents and scale new heights.
