In Tune | The Shape of Our Sound

Portraits of Two Voices, Conversations in Between, and Notes on Becoming.

What does it mean to find a voice that is truly your own?

Join Voision Xi and Xiaofan Sun for an evening of live music and conversation, where performance and dialogue unfold side by side.

Moving between jazz vocals, piano, synthesizers, percussion, and spontaneous improvisation, the two artists will reinterpret each other’s works, create music in the moment, and reflect on the winding paths that continue to shape their artistic identities.

An intimate gathering for listening, exchanging, and discovering the many forms a voice can take.

We’re sharing highlights from our inaugural ‘In Conversation’ event on December 2 with the Co-Founders of Music & Arts Festival: Mike Hill (CEO) and Justin Sweeting (Head of Music).

Timed during the exciting week of Clockenflap’s 2025 edition, Mr Hill and Mr Sweeting talked about their journey building Hong Kong’s flagship music festival since 2008 in a discussion moderated by Dr. Li Meng de Bakker.

Topics included entrepreneurship in the local music scene, curation of international artists, the festival’s history, and plans for the future. They emphasised that while Clockenflap may expand its activities, the festival itself will always remain a brand for and by Hong Kong.

The founders also shared how they overcame major challenges, including torrential rain during the 2016 edition. Thanks to the waterproof technologies used, the show continued perfectly, proving the value of diligent preparation. During COVID-19, they faced very hard times keeping their team together when many others failed, but succeeded through strong leadership and commitment.

A big thank you to our guests and everyone who joined us onsite for the first iteration of our ‘In Conversation’ series!

我們在此分享12月2日與Clockenflap音樂藝術節聯合創辦人，行政總裁Mike Hill及音樂總監Justin Sweeting在首場《對話》系列活動中的精彩內容。

本次活動正逢Clockenflap 2025年度盛會啓動周，在主持人Dr Li Meng de Bakker的引導下，Hill先生與Sweeting先生回顧了自2008年創立香港頂尖音樂節的發展歷程。

討論涵蓋本地音樂產業的創業精神、國際藝術家的策展理念、音樂節歷史及未來計劃。他們強調，儘管Clockenflap可能拓展品牌活動版圖，但音樂節本身將始終是為香港而設、屬於香港的品牌。

兩位創辦人亦分享了克服重大挑戰的經歷：2016年音樂節遭遇暴雨侵襲，仰仗專業防水技術保障演出完美進行，印證了周全籌備的價值；疫情期間，當眾多同業難以維繫團隊時，他們憑借堅定領導力與承諾凝聚人心，成功渡過難關。

衷心感謝嘉賓及所有現場參與者，與我們共同開啓《對話》系列活動的首章！
