Classical music on the radio in Hong Kong

Hong Kong has a vibrant classical music scene, with a number of local and international artists regularly performing in the city's concert halls and venues. The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (HK Phil) is one of the most prominent classical music ensembles in the city, and has been performing for over a century. They are known for their high-quality performances of classical works from composers like Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms, as well as contemporary works by living composers.

Another notable classical music ensemble in Hong Kong is the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, which was founded in 1990. The Sinfonietta has gained a reputation for innovative programming and for promoting the works of Asian composers. They also collaborate with artists from other fields, such as dance and visual arts.

There are several radio stations in Hong Kong that feature classical music programming. Radio 4, operated by Radio Television Hong Kong, broadcasts classical music throughout the day, with a particular focus on local and regional performances. Commercial station RTHK 4 also features classical music programming in the evenings, with a mix of local and international performances. Additionally, the HK Phil and Sinfonietta both have their own dedicated radio shows that feature their performances and interviews with musicians.
