As the flagship event of the Hong Kong Drum Festival, “MAJESTIC DRUMS” captivates audiences with pulsating rhythms and boundless energy. This concert highlights the acclaimed Orang Orang Drum Theatre returning from their highly praised performances in “One Beat, One World: Connecting through the Drum” in 2024, delivering a showcase of the Southeast Asian country’s rich multicultural heritage.


The language of the drum knows no borders. In this concert, audiences will experience the many facets of percussion—from the earthy, folk-inspired Tuyang Sit in the Corner (adapted from Bornean melodies), to the lively Indonesian-inspired Aiyo… Mama!, and the explosive contemporary piece Charge. Classic works such as Flying Dragons and Leaping Tigers and the third movement of Yiu Kwong Chung’s Percussion Concerto seamlessly blend drumming’s majestic power with rich symphonic textures. Beyond international exchange, this programme shines a spotlight on “future drum kings”. Let thunderous drums ignite your passion! Immerse yourself in the electrifying power of rhythms that connect the world.
