The future of classical music

"Asia Pacific is the future for classical music. The sheer number of people who study it and the good ones who come out of conservatories, especially those in violin and piano, are astounding," says John Harding, who was born in New South Wales, but has spent a cumulative two dozen years in the Asia-Pacific region. He is extremely familiar with the music scene in Hong Kong and Macao, having founded the violin department of The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.
