CLASSIX is a young and dynamic chamber music ensemble formed in 2022 with six core members: Aaron Leung (flute), Viola Ng (oboe), Frederick Fung (clarinet), Winnie Chan (horn), Lulu So (bassoon) and Tong Chan (piano). The ensemble is keen to develop a wide range of repertoire, ranging from standard concert pieces to modern rearrangements of pop and film music, through which they share the simple joyfulness of their lives with music. The ensemble members share wonderful memories of music-making but team building activities such as board games, with their favourite being Monopoly. A recent highlight is their performance at the Business of Design Week 2022 in the M+ Museum of West Kowloon Cultural District.
