In the 45-minute mini school concert, JCE will focus on performing and promoting original world music with a unique Hong Kong style, with emphasis on improvisation, stressing the importance of creativity. Through the group s music, we hope that students will have an opportunity not only to be an audience enjoying a somewhat different type of music, but also actively participate in a 15-minute jamming session with the Ensemble to have hands-on experience on music-making as well as music improvisation. </p> <p> Members of JCE include Prof. John Chen (Music Director & guitar), Anna Fan (percussion), Herbert Cheung (erhu/violin) and Lui Ngao-yuen (electric bass). They are all from very different musical backgrounds, using musical ideas and instruments from the west and the east. The ensemble s repertoire mainly features compositions by members in the group. Through the ensemble s performances, we hope to erase the lines between different musical cultures, and between composing and performing. </p> </font> </td> </table> </center> <br> <div align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> </font> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, 0}fÔš" size="2"><img src="rhapsoarts_gif/green009900_border03.gif" width="300" height="22" align="absbottom"></font></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> </body> </html>
