Due to light pollution and cloudy weather, it isn’t always so easy to see celestial bodies above Hong Kong, but you do have an opportunity to see and reflect on the stars and their symbolism and meaning at “The Orbit of Hope”, an exhibition organised by the non-profit art platform WMA. Four artists are taking part. We talked to one of them, Jess Lau.

The exhibition “Misty Aura” at Hanart TZ Gallery features more than 20 large-scale shanshui or landscape paintings painted over the past 12 years by artist Xu Longsen.

Pianist Niu Niu revisited us in February, just after the Lunar New Year, and spoke to us about his performances of all three of Tchaikovsky’s piano concertos with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, one of which resulted in a live album. He also highlighted his plans for the rest of 2025, which included a debut recital in Singapore in August, and a series of concerts in Japan, beginning this month and continuing into November. Niu Niu also told us that one of his goals for this year, apart from performing, is to write more of his own music. While he was with us, he performed one of his original compositions, a piece from his “Weather Suite” called “Sunny Day”.
