Entrance Fee 門票: $200

music starts 表演 : 9.30pm

The Principal Trumpet of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, Joshua MacCluer is a versatile and accomplished musician who is in demand worldwide in many styles as a trumpeter, composer, arranger, and record producer.

Equally comfortable in a concert hall or jazz club, Josh MacCluer has performed in 23 countries in many styles outside of classical music, including jazz, rock, blues, salsa, funk, and reggae.  He has appeared on stage with innumerable fine musicians including Wayne Shorter, Bobby McFerrin, Doc Severinsen, Liza Minnelli, Ben Folds, Arturo Sandoval, Sumi Jo, Kristin Chenoweth, Jason and Branford Marsalis, the Smothers Brothers, Idina Menzel, Blood Sweat and Tears, Paul Newman, Placido Domingo, Sufjan Stevens, and many others.

Joshua plays jazz in a modern style but with a strong sense of tradition and is strongly influenced by such luminaries such as Miles Davis, Wynton Marsalis and Freddie Hubbard.  A believer in the importance of communicating with the audience, Josh includes the audience in his performances by describing his personal connection with the music he plays.  Music is about telling stories and painting pictures, and Josh includes his listeners in this artistic process.

爵士樂小號演奏家麥浩威（Joshua MacCluer）

現為香港交響樂團首席小號手的麥浩威，是多才多藝且成就卓越的音樂家，也是國際間有名的小號演奏家、作曲家、編曲家及唱片監製。

麥浩威不管在演奏廳還是爵士樂俱樂部裡都能表演得渾灑自如，並在二十三個國家演出過，演出的音樂類型除了古典音樂外，還有爵士樂、搖滾樂、藍調、騷莎、放克和雷鬼。他也曾與眾多出色的音樂家同台演出過，包括 Wayne Shorter、Bobby McFerrin、Doc Severinsen、Liza Minnelli、Ben Folds、Arturo Sandoval、Sumi Jo、Kristin Chenoweth、Jason and Branford Marsalis、the Smothers Brothers、Idina Menzel、Blood, Sweat and Tears、Paul Newman、Placido Domingo 和 Sufjan Stevens。

麥浩威的爵士樂演奏風格屬於現代派，同時揉合了強烈的傳統意識，深受著名樂手如 Miles Davis、Wynton Marsalis 和 Freddie Hubbard 的影響。他認為與觀眾有交流是十分重要的，所以演出時會講述他本身和每一段音樂之間的關係，讓觀眾融入到演出裡。對麥浩威而言，音樂就是把故事娓娓道來、描繪影像的過程，而在這個創作歷程中他也會將聽眾包含在內。
