Hong Kong Music: The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (tel: 2721 2030; website: www.hkpo.com) is the town ensemble and its frequent showings at corporate galas at least bankroll a full year-round programme. The company is resident at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, 10 Salisbury Road (tel: 2734 2848 or 2734 2009 for tickets; website: www.lcsd.gov.hk/CE/CulturalService/HKCC), from September to July. It is backed up by the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra (tel: 3185 1600; website: www.hkco.org). Visiting orchestras of all standards frequently tour through Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, 1 Gloucester Road (tel: 2584 8500; website: www.hkapa.edu), also hosts frequent concerts. Traditional Chinese opera is performed at the China Club, 13F Old Bank of China Building, Bank Street (tel: 2521 8888). It is very difficult to get in here but it is worth trying, if only to admire the display of modern Chinese art.
