鳳凰傳奇交響樂

The phoenix, fenghuang in Chinese, is about an old folk tale. But who 
has seen fenghuang? Who understands fenghuang?

In  Western  Greece and  Egypt , the  phoenix  is  a  long-lived  bird. In Oriental India, the bird achieves nirvana in flames every five hundred years. In ancient China, fenghuang, being a propitious omen, are two birds, one male and one female. And feng woos huang.

When there is a male , there  must also be a female.  And you need yin(female) to generate yang(male).  How could a fairy bird fly alone?  But  being o ne  in  heaven  and the other on  earth , one in the East and the  other  in the  West ,  never shall  feng  and  huang  meet,  just like whenever  the  sun rises ,  the  moon   sets .  But  they   overcome all  improbability  and  meet   at   last ,   showing   the  poignancy and meaning of great love.
   
When there is life, there must also be death. And there must be death in  order  to  have   life .  How  could   fenghuang  live  forever?  Only because death follows a long life, and rebirth follows death.  The cycle goes on and on.    Thus  fenghuang achieves nirvana, gaining new life from the flames of a fire. 

It is my  great   honor  to  connect   with  conductor  and   composer 
Maestro  Mak  Ka  Lok   to   explore   the   possibility  of  producing   a completely new version of the fenghuang legend.

Maestro Mak is proficient in German and is a world-famous conductor who had performed with the Russian and Austrian Symphony Orchestra.
