Transcending Eras: The Gathering of Heroes Concert

Presented by the BC Chinese Music Association. Transcending Eras: The Gathering of Heroes” is an annual concert celebrating the 29th anniversary of the BC Chinese Orchestra (BCCO). This concert promises to be a thrilling musical extravaganza centered around the captivating theme of “heroes.” We have carefully prepared a selection of evocative traditional pieces for this occasion. Among them is the renowned “General’s Command,” originally part of the string ensemble repertoire collected by Rongzhai in the Qing Dynasty in 1814. This piece has undergone several adaptations and became prominently featured in Hong Kong films and television series related to Wong Fei-hung in the 1940s.
