風の荒野
Using ‘wind’ as a motif, the piece expresses the trajectory of its journey from the perspective of ‘wind’ itself, which is born out from nowhere and blown through the air. Sometimes it is on a plateau with a view of the ocean, sometimes in the middle of a whirlpool of purple clouds, and sometimes in a barren wilderness. Thus, the wind wanders aimlessly without knowing where it is leading to. It can be a light breeze that gently shakes someone’s hair, or a violent wind that knocks down trees and houses, but still, it seeks a beautiful landscape that it has not yet seen.

PERCUSSION ENSEMBLE
The Percussion Ensemble of Wah Yan College, Kowloon was founded by a group of passionate and experienced student percussionists in 2021. Making good use of their spare time to practice, the group aims to explore the joy in playing percussion music, while striving for excellence through attempting challenging pieces. Under the guidance of alumnus Simon CHIN ’18, the Ensemble has won the Silver Award in the 2021 Hong Kong Youth Music Interflows Western Percussion Ensemble Contest. The group would continue their music journey and hope to create more mellifluous music in the future
