Hong Kong Arts Festival

The Hong Kong Arts Festival is a charitable, non-profit organisation. It is a major international arts festival as well as the premier arts event in Hong Kong. Featuring overseas and local artists of renown in an eclectic array of music, theatre, dance, popular entertainment, film and exhibition programmes, the Festival offers a four-to-five-week-long cultural feast annually from February to March.

What makes the Festival so unique?
This is an international arts festival in which the best of Asian and local talents are showcased alongside top artists from elsewhere around the world. The Festival provides a broad spectrum of programmes, ranging from classical fare to other innovative and stimulating art forms. Indeed, the organisers not only make every effort to engage world-famous artists to perform in the Festival, but also bring in accomplished artists who display their talent in less familiar media.
Some of the eminent artists and groups who have taken part in the Festival include the Glyndebourne Festival Opera, James Galway, José Carreras, the Mark Morris Dance Group, Moscow Art Theatre, Paris Opera Ballet, the People's Art Theatre of Beijing, Yo-Yo Ma, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Philip Glass, Bobby McFerrin, Pina Bausch Tanztheater Wuppertal, the Royal Shakespeare Company, the St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Staatskapelle Dresden, Stuttgart Ballet, Tan Dun, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Maryinsky Theatre and the Bolshoi Theatre.
