About the Group

Hong Kong Gaudeamus Dunhuang Ensemble was founded by Ms Leonie Ki in 2018, when they made their debut to critical acclaim. Combining the principle with the education of respecting individual and inheritance of Dunhuang culture, the Ensemble attempted to recreate and enliven musical scenes from over a thousand years ago in the paintings within the Dunhuang grottoes through their interpretation and academic cooperation of ancient Dunhuang music, in order to enhance and promote the Dunhuang art and culture. Since 2020-22, the Ensemble has participated 18dART – Community Arts Scheme “Dunhuang x Kwun Tong – Dialogue of Past and Present”.
