Music across the ages: A night of Beethoven
Grace Ho
Around 350 music lovers—including children and grownups—packed the Wei Hing Theatre on 26 March for a piano concert in commemoration of composer Ludwig van Beethoven, who died that same day 175 years ago.
Gustavo Romero, a world-renowned pianist, played four Beethoven Sonata and several encore pieces at the concert. Mr Romero's performance sparked much attention from the audience.
"This is the first time I played in Hong Kong. It's really an honour to come here tonight and pay tribute to Beethoven on this special day in memory of his tremendous contribution to the world," said Mr Romero.
