"SENZA x Lucky 6: Pop Grooves" concert to inject creative musical elements into Hong Kong Pop Culture Festival 2023 in April
******************************************************************************************
     The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) will present the "SENZA x Lucky 6: Pop Grooves" concert, a special and unique evening concert for the first Hong Kong Pop Culture Festival, at the Concert Hall of Hong Kong City Hall on April 29 (Saturday). The sought-after local vocal group SENZA A Cappella (SENZA) and emerging brass band Lucky 6 will join hands to reinterpret a number of iconic Hong Kong movie music and Cantopop songs in a cappella and brass ensemble versions, showcasing crossover collaboration which brings audiences a refreshing performance not to be missed.

     SENZA and Lucky 6 will perform new versions of selected Hong Kong movie songs since the 1980s in a variety of formats, including covers, remixes, mash-ups and medleys, evoking nostalgic memories through popular melodies. They will also perform hit songs of local pop singers and bands as well as their original compositions. Their inspiring pieces and exquisite musical skills will inject vibrancy into the concert.

     SENZA was formed in 2018. Its five members explore a seemingly infinite range of human voices and promote a cappella into the local mainstream music landscape. In 2021, the group released their first album, "Circle of Fifths", which was nominated in the 15th Freshmusic Awards as "EP (extended play) of the Year" and "Best Group".

     Lucky 6 is formed by six local professional musicians who play trumpet, trombone, tuba, saxophones and drums. They play mostly pop and funky music, but always extend their spectrum to diverse musical styles in collaborations with singers and other musical instrument soloists. They are frequently invited to perform their own originals as well as rearranged pieces on different occasions.

     The first Hong Kong Pop Culture Festival organised by the LCSD aims to offer an array of programmes, from pop concerts and performances to thematic exhibitions, film screenings, outdoor and outreach activities, showcasing Hong Kong's unique cultural creativity and vibrancy.

     The "Hong Kong Pop Culture Festival 2023 - SENZA x Lucky 6: Pop Grooves" concert will be staged at 8pm on April 29 (Saturday) at the Concert Hall of Hong Kong City Hall.
