TICAx platform has emerged as a dynamic hub for facilitating cross-cultural music collaborations, showcasing Hong Kong’s vibrant talent on the global stage. Amsterdam-based Hong Kong percussionist Keith Ng, winner of the prestigious TROMP International Percussion Competition, will start the session with an educational workshop as part of the Toolbox Percussion Platform’s educational series.

It will then be followed by a specially curated joint showcase co-directed by Minh-Tâm Nguyen (LPS) and Louis Siu (TBP), bringing together youth percussion ensembles from Macao (U of Macao Symphonic Band Perucssion Ensemble), Shenzhen (Shengdungjixi Percussion), and Hong Kong (Ying Wa Primary School Percussion Ensemble). This dynamic gathering celebrates the music exchange between China and France, as young artists unite to captivate audiences with their virtuosic performances.
