Hailed by the Financial Times as a festival with a “finely hewn sense of craft," The Intimacy of Creativity returns for its sixth season in collaboration with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), which presents the annual festival. The Intimacy of Creativity (IC) continues to explore the creative process as selected composers present and revise their chamber music compositions after in-depth discussions between composers and performers. “HKUST is proud to feature The Intimacy of Creativity as part of our 25th anniversary celebration,” says Prof Tony F Chan, President of HKUST. “We believe that music is part of the holistic education that we aim to provide to our students and it can also stimulate creativity which is vital to their future success.”
