Brazilian Fantasy with Ney Rosauro
The legendary Brazilian composer and percussionist Ney Rosauro is putting on a special performance of folk music from his home country, joined by the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong. Rosauro will be both guest conductor and soloist at this one-off concert of his own compositions, featuring some local talents sharing his stage.
Fiona Foo will play Rosauro's famous 'Concerto No.1 for Marimba and Orchestra' – known as the most popular marimba concerto of all time – while the Hong Kong Philharmonic's principal timpanist James Boznos and renowned local marimba musician Eliise Liu will present the Hong Kong premiere of Rosauro's 'Double Concerto for Marimba, Timpani and Orchestra'. The composer himself will also perform a solo rendition of his Brazilian Suite for vibraphone. Tickets are available from $200 to $500, with concessions available.

Harry emphasises importance of ‘compassion' in surprise New York appearance
According to the organisation's website, the event on Friday brought together more than 350 of the world's 'most influential next-gen philanthropists, impact investors and social innovators' to 'tackle global challenges and shape a better future for 2025 and beyond'. Harry was an unannounced featured speaker for the event, where he discussed the impact of service and the importance of establishing stronger communities to tackle issues such as disconnection and social isolation. He pointed to the work of his Archewell Foundation in fostering community and combating social isolation, both online and offline. Harry and the Duchess of Sussex founded the non-profit organisation in 2020. He told the crowd: 'As the world gets harder, as people's lives become harder, compassion can shrink. 'The thing that gives me the most hope is the grassroots approach. 'Many of you here today are connected and involved with so many community solutions, because it's what energises all of you, and that service part is really what energises me as well.' In his address, the duke also urged those in attendance to use their platforms to serve the wider community, telling the crowd: 'Whatever you put out there, you get back.' Harry met with the Nexus Australian delegation, made up of people and organisations working to address mental health and social media safety, and a Brazilian delegation of 12 young people striving to tackle inequality through education and volunteerism. The summit runs until Saturday, with other featured speakers ranging from journalists to activists and chief executives.
