MAGRITTE AND THE TUBA
Clouds, pipes, bowler hats, green apples and tubas: these remain some of the most immediately recognisable icons of René Magritte, the Belgian painter and well-known Surrealist. This week we focus on the tuba in Magritte’s work – in particular, The Central Story (1927), Threatening Weather (1928) and The Discovery of Fire (1935). We’ll hear music written for the instrument by Sophia Gubaidulina, her ‘Lamento’, Widening Circles by Joshua William Mills and Asha Srinivasan’s Dyadic Affinities.

Throughout May, The Culture Show is turning its attention to the diversity of French arts and culture - zooming in on the performing arts, visual arts and film. My studio guest is the French Consul for Culture, Education and Science, Benjamin Cabouat. Of course we will be highlighting music performances that are no doubt, an expression of the French spirit - refined, passionate, and deeply emotive. Do join us for a symphony of experiences.
EPISODE 2 - We turn to France and its music scene, but travel back to Hong Kong to explore dance and jazz on offer in Le French May
