In its 21st season, this year’s Le French May promises to offer something for everyone as it brings over 500 events to Hong Kong and Macau. Running from the 17 April to 23 June, there’s still time to check the program and head along to one of the many spectacles taking place. The three key themes; Le French May – for the art hipsters, Le GourMay – for the foodies and Le FashionMay – for the fashionistas, encompass a kaleidoscope of offerings, from opera and cinema, to wine tasting and cabaret. The selection of music events on offer is extensive with numerous classical performers, such as Eric Le Sage as well as more contemporary performers, including electro-pop artist Chat and powerful percussionists Les Tambours du Bronx. On 23 June Stanley Plaza will host Fete de la Musique, a free of charge music concert featuring local and international performers. The cross cultural projects look particularly interesting, including Yo Gee Ti, a French-Taiwanese Choreographic piece and Antalis HK – Fete en Papier, showing local artists and designers crossing over with French culture. Tickets for all events are available through [link url=http://www.urbtix.com]Urbtix[/link]. For a full program schedule visit [link url=http://www.frenchmay.com]Le French May[/link]. Claire […]
