I’ve been taking the light rail for over 30 years, I have had a variety of experiences When travelling on the Light Rail. I Remember going to the Hoh Fuk Tong stop with my parents and getting a treat after having a bad haircut..

From Friday 12TH March 2021 to Saturday 3rd April 2021, the World’s Leading Public transport provider MTR Hong Kong MTR Corporationis collaborating with theHong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (HK Phil) to launch the new “Phil Your MTR Ride with Music”campaign to provide passengers with refreshing and relaxing musical journeys with beautiful and enchanting melodies amidst the pandemic. This video features 30 members of the HK Phil with an unprecedented scene of an orchestral setup to perform the work of renowned American composer Bernstein on a train at the depot and in an MTR station after traffic hours.
More about the music in the video: BERNSTEIN – On the Town: Times Square 1944 On the Town marked Bernstein’s Broadway debut and was a hit. Bernstein defies categorisation. He possessed an abundance of gifts and was equally noted as a composer, conductor, pianist, educator and humanist…. Two key actors, Resident Conductor Mr Lio Kuokman and Concertmaster Mr Jing Wang from HK Phil, shared their feelings on this collaboration.
A unifying element in his music, whether for the Broadway stage or the classical concert hall, is the vivid theatricality that gives it its distinct flair.
Passengers will hear five familiar music written by four renowned classical music composers including Dvořák, Mozart, Shostakovich and Wagner and performed by the HK Phil when they enter station concourses.
