The Countryside Conservation Office (CCO) under the Environment and Ecology Bureau will host the Countryside Harvest Festival 2026: "Hong Kong Soundscape - Opera & Dance" One Day Music Festival on 1 March 2026. The event will be staged at Yan Chau Tong, situated within Mirs Bay, Hong Kong, which has been selected as an "Outstanding Example of Beautiful Bays" by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. This event is also featured as one of the "Festival PLUS" events of the 54th Hong Kong Arts Festival.
The festival has invited internationally renowned composer and conductor Tan Dun to serve as its artistic director. He has created a unique musical composition specifically inspired by the serene northeastern countryside of Hong Kong. Renowned for his ability to merge Eastern and Western musical traditions, transcend cultural barriers, and expand artistic boundaries, Maestro Tan Dun stands as one of the most impactful contemporary musicians, honored with numerous international music accolades.
During this exceptional event, Maestro Tan Dun will collaborate with distinguished musicians and dancers from Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland, and beyond, presenting a magnificent dialogue between art and nature on an open-air stage, surrounded by majestic mountains and the sea. This performance promises to offer audiences a powerful and immersive experience.
The event will be broadcast live to a global audience through various online platforms. One segment of the festival warmly invites the public to join us in person to experience this remarkable cultural celebration and to appreciate the stunning rural waters and compelling musical performances from Hong Kong's northeastern region.
