Musicus Soloists Hong Kong
Musicus Soloists Hong Kong (MSHK), founded and directed by cellist Trey Lee, brings together some of Hong Kong’s most outstanding next-generation artists, many of whom are laureates of international competitions and alumni of top conservatories in Europe and North America. As a fluid and inventive collective, MSHK performs a wide repertoire ranging from Baroque to modern masters such as Arvo Pärt. The ensemble exemplifies Musicus Society’s mission of promoting cross-cultural collaboration between top local and overseas artists through performances and by nurturing the next generation of musical talent.
Since its debut at Musicus Fest 2022, MSHK has appeared at leading venues including the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Konzerthaus Berlin, Budapest’s House of Music Hungary, and Paris’s Salle Gaveau. The ensemble has collaborated with artists such as violinists Florian Donderer and Barnabás Kelemen, pianist Louis Lortie, Cameristi della Scala, and the London Chamber Orchestra.
Highlights include the 2024 world and Asian premieres of UMBRA, a double concerto by South Korean composer Seung-Won Oh, performed in Paris and Hong Kong with support from the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation, followed by its Chinese Mainland debut at Shenzhen Concert Hall under Trey Lee’s leadership in 2025.
The performance of Musicus Soloists is funded by Musicus Society, generously sponsored by the Bank of China (Hong Kong) and the Tung Foundation.
