Harbour City

26th May 2007 at 3pm- 5pm

Since I came back from Hong Kong last year in July 2006, the favor places I can’t stop to visits Harbour City in Tsim Sh Tsui. Why is that??? There were at a concert…. alive music a concert at Harbour City.  Who performs an excellent music regularly in the atrium of The Gateway. The pianist called Phoebus Chan who is a very talent person, once you heard his playing piano MUSIC that entirely can’t stop to come every weekend… his music, which definitely touches your heart, thought your mind.  This is a live music... His music which I entirely can feel…. he is talking and feeling of his emotions… this is an amazing... The sound of the city is out there though you may not hear what I hear…

I have been watching Phoebus’s piano performance since I came back from England.  I felt this is a kind of alive music… every time he played such a great performance in there... Phoebus’s piano which attracting larger and larger crowds.  The insistence and dedication with which shoppers and visitors from all walks of life stand by and listen to Phoebus’s playing have turned occasional background performances into full-fledged concerts. 

16th April 2007:- 7:30pm.  Previously I attended David’s Free Mini Concert in Harbour City.  I was delighted to have watched Phoebus Chan with David Garrett’s Free mini show.  He is a talented violinist with his good-looking.  I was also proud of Hong Kong, because we have Phoebus Chan who is also talented pianist with good-looking and lovely personality.  I really enjoyed the crossover part; Phoebus with David was prefect match…. This is alive music…  The Performance was excellent.

Phoebus Chan started playing the piano at the age of five gained a bachelor’s degree in classical music from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and has acquired considerable experience as a public performer for more than 15 years.  But he is now known almost exclusively as a ‘pop’ musician, or better, as an entertainer. I visited Harbour City is likely to impress no one but he most naïve listener. He mostly played solo piano versions of popular songs or assisted volunteers in kinds of live ‘piano karaoke’.  The pieces included recent Canto-pop selections as well as Japanese, Korean and English hits associated with popular TV series. I observer his performance his fingers over the keyboard from high to low before the chorus section, and playing the expressive climax very loud and with an excessive use of pedaling. 

This is a kind of challenges to Terence.   We all know Terence has wonderful voice and if he could have chance co-operate with Phoebus’s talent piano…. And play solo piano versions of any songs…That would be a prefect alive music …. Terence might have in love this kind of music solo (piano performance).
