The University of Chicago
Francis and Rose Yuen Campus in Hong Kong
168 Victoria Road, Mount Davis
Hong Kong
The University of Chicago campus in Hong Kong will present a lecture and a concert to complement its ongoing exhibition “Refugee and Renaissance Man: Solomon Bard (1916-2014) in Hong Kong". The exhibition curator, Professor Kenneth Pomeranz, will give a lecture about Bard’s contributions to Hong Kong throughout the decades. As befits Bard’s own life – in which he was born in Russia, moved as a child to Northeast China, spent 60 years in Hong Kong, and eventually wound up in Australia – the event will showcase a variety of music written in Europe, China, and Australia, and performed on both Western and Eastern instruments.
