節目
爽過飲薑啤——
「薑家樂」帶你玩轉古典、爵士、流行樂！
音樂在主音 (Tonic) 分解，把不和諧音程化作諧和樂音，就像在夏日呷一口凍薑啤，沁人心脾。在這個樂聚，傳統口味先行：耳熟能詳的古典、爵士和經典流行樂旋律，均被現代手法賦予新的可能性。表演分為兩部分：張貝芝將會帶領她的組合，把招牌古典音樂大師作品改編為各式爵士樂風；Smash 三重奏則會為觀眾帶來最富動感的旋律。
「本地薑」指一眾土生土長的香港音樂人，他們會合力打造一番生氣蓬勃、生態均衡的本地音樂景象。
Better Than a Drink –
Bet on Gingers’ Tonic for a Refreshing Twist on Classical, Jazz and Pop!
Music resolves at its tonic. The chord resolution is beautifully harmonic and beyond satisfying, almost like downing a chilled drink in summertime. Starting from the conventional, Gingers’ Tonic will modernise familiar tunes of classical, jazz and signature pops to new possibilities. In two sections, Joyce Cheung will lead her ensemble to re-arrange signature classical masterpieces to styles of jazz music, and the Smash trio will bring the most dynamic tunes to our audiences.
Metaphorically Ginger represents our city’s homegrown musicians, who will collaborate in the performance, portraying a vibrant and balanced music scene of our city.
節目長約1小時30分鐘，包括中場休息15分鐘。
