Many performances end when the evening ends.

The lights go down. The audience leaves. Photos are sorted. Reports are submitted. And the event is considered complete.

But to me, the meaning of a cultural event does not lie only in whether it has taken place smoothly. What matters more is whether the city has received it, whether the people who were there remember something of it, and whether the encounter has left behind even a small new understanding.

This is why I do not see Isles in Resonance simply as a recital.

Yes, there will be flute, piano, repertoire, performance, and professional musicianship. But beyond that, I care about something more: whether Hong Kong and Kuching may come to understand one another a little more through this evening; whether the audience, the arts community, students, teachers, and cultural workers in Kuching may feel that this is not just a programme arriving and leaving.

I hope it becomes a cultural encounter.
A meeting through music.
An evening where two cities briefly sit within the same sound.
An exchange that leaves an echo.
A cultural event truly comes alive not because it is grand, but because it allows people and places to draw a little closer.
That is what I hope Isles in Resonance can become in Kuching.

In music, dialogue begins long before words.

It begins in listening. In waiting. In the small decisions we make when we allow another voice to enter the same space.

A good collaboration is not only about playing together.

It is about listening together.

That is why, for me, Isles in Resonance is not simply a recital. It is a shared experience shaped by sound, attention, space, and response — between flute and piano, between performers and audience, and also between Hong Kong and Kuching.

I look forward to sharing this dialogue with you at the Old Court House this July.

在音樂裡，對話很早就開始了。
它不一定從語言開始，而是從聆聽開始，從等待開始，也從我們願意為另一個聲音留出空間的那一刻開始。

一場好的合作，不只是一起演奏。
而是一起聆聽。

所以對我來說，《聲島流光》是一個由聲音、專注、空間與回應共同形成的體驗——在長笛與鋼琴之間，在表演者與觀眾之間，也在香港與古晉之間。

期待七月，在 Old Court House 與大家分享這場對話。

Music is never only about performing a piece.

Sometimes, it becomes a way for people to meet — gently, quietly, and without needing to explain too much. When sound begins, something in the room also begins to shift. People who may come from different places, different languages, and different experiences can suddenly share the same breath, the same silence, the same moment of listening.

This July in Kuching, what matters to me is not only which pieces we will perform.

What I hope to explore is how music may bring Hong Kong and Kuching into the same space — not as two distant cities, but as two places willing to listen to one another.

For me, this performance is not a one-way presentation. It is a meeting. A quiet exchange. A moment where flute, piano, city, and audience are all present together.

I hope what you feel that evening is not only the completion of a performance, but something more delicate and more alive: a sense that cultural exchange is happening in real time, through sound, breath, attention, and presence.

Music may not always give us answers.
But sometimes, it gives us a way to meet.

對我來說，音樂從來不只是把一首作品演奏出來。

有時候，它也是一種讓人相遇的方式。當聲音開始，空間裡有些東西也會慢慢改變。來自不同地方、不同語言、不同生命經驗的人，可能因為同一段旋律、同一個停頓、同一種聆聽，而短暫地坐在同一個呼吸裡。

這次在古晉演出，最重要的，不只是我們會演奏什麼曲目。

我更想感受的是，音樂如何把香港與古晉放進同一個空間裡。不是兩個遙遠的城市，而是兩個願意彼此聆聽的地方。

對我來說，這不是一場單向的演出。它更像是一場相遇，一次安靜的交流。長笛、鋼琴、城市與觀眾，都在同一個晚上裡一起存在。

我希望那一晚，你感受到的不只是表演的完成度，而是一種更細緻、更真實、正在發生的交流。

音樂有時候不是答案。
但它可以是一種相遇。

Perhaps the question is not whether the piano still matters, but how it continues to speak to us today.

It may be precisely because our age moves so quickly, and because so much is expected to be immediate — immediate response, immediate expression — that the piano remains so valuable. It reminds us that music still contains another kind of time. It teaches us concentration, control, and the art of shaping sound with depth, breath, and genuine expression.

To me, music education carries the same meaning. A masterclass is not only about technique, or about playing the right notes. It is also about exploring how to give a phrase direction, and how to make performance more than the completion of a piece — how to let it truly speak.

Perhaps the piano still matters today not only because it is a classical instrument, but because it continues to teach us how to listen, how to think, and how to express with sincerity.

Many people ask why flute still matter today.

Perhaps it is precisely because our age is so fast, so crowded, and so accustomed to being surrounded by overwhelming sound that voices like the flute and the piano feel all the more precious. They do not capture our attention through noise, but through breath, line, colour, and detail — gently inviting us to become still enough to listen.

Music education is much the same. A masterclass is not only about technique. It is about learning together how to give a sound greater expression, how to let a phrase truly speak, and how to make performance not merely correct, but alive with feeling and communication.

Perhaps flute still matter today not only because they belong to the classical tradition, but because they continue to teach us how to listen with greater sensitivity, and how to express ourselves with sincerity.

What truly matters is never only whether a performance has taken place, but whether that encounter has been received by the city, remembered by the people who were there, and whether it has left behind even the slightest new understanding between places.

What I hope Isles in Resonance will leave behind is this: one more dialogue between Kuching and Hong Kong, a little more closeness, and one more path that may continue to unfold beyond this moment.

Perhaps cultural exchange does not happen before the final applause, but in the quiet hope that there may be another meeting still to come.

真正重要的從來不只是有沒有辦過一場演出，而是這場相遇有沒有被城市接住，有沒有人真的記得它，也有沒有在彼此之間留下哪怕一點點新的理解。我希望《聲島流光》留下的，是讓古晉與香港之間，真的多一次對話，多一點靠近，也多一條之後還想繼續走下去的路。

也許文化交流，不是發生在謝幕前，而是讓人開始期待，下一次還能不能再相遇。

Very often, cultural exchange takes place in quieter moments — when we begin to notice another person’s rhythm, become willing to adjust ourselves, and leave a little space for one another.

In music, this kind of exchange is always very real. Collaboration is never only about performing one’s own part well; it is about learning how to respond, how to wait, and how to allow another voice to be heard naturally.

That is why, for me, performing in a new place is never only about playing. It is also about learning how to listen to that place. Perhaps many genuine connections begin here.

很多時候，文化交流反而發生在一些很安靜的時刻，當你開始留意另一個人的節奏，願意調整自己，也願意為彼此留一點空間。在音樂裡，這種交流一直都很真實。合作從來不只是把自己的部分做好，而是學習怎麼回應、怎麼等待、怎麼讓另一個聲音也能自然地被聽見。

所以，在一個新的地方演出，對我來說，不只是去演奏，也是學習怎麼去傾聽那個地方。也許很多真正的連結，都是從這裡開始的。

To me, cultural exchange has never been simply about bringing music to another place.

If exchange is only “I come and perform for you,” then it ends very quickly. What feels truly precious is when you enter another place and become willing to listen to its rhythm, to sense its people and its way of life, and then slowly realise that you, too, have been changed a little in the process.

It is not a matter of one side moving toward the other, but of an encounter through which two places that once felt distant begin to form a more genuine connection.

對我來說，藝術交流從來不只是把音樂帶去另一個地方。如果交流只是「我來演給你看」，那它其實很快就會結束。真正珍貴的，是當你走進另一個地方，也開始願意去聽那裡的節奏、感受那裡的人與生活，然後慢慢發現，自己也在這個過程裡被改變了一點點。不是誰走向誰，而是透過一次相遇，讓兩個原本有距離的地方，開始有了更真實的連結。

To me, the value of art lies in the way it slowly leaves behind a certain atmosphere, a certain rhythm, within a city — reminding us that life can hold another kind of depth beyond its constant urgency.

Perhaps that is why a city needs art, not simply for activity or excitement, but because it allows the city to breathe more deeply.

對我來說，藝術存在的意義，更像是在一座城市裡，慢慢留下一種氣息、一種節奏，讓人知道生活除了匆忙之外，還可以有另一種深度。

也許這就是為什麼，一座城市需要藝術，不只是為了熱鬧，而是因為它能讓這座城市有更深的呼吸。
