In that hundredth of a second as I leapt into the air, I held my breath. At that moment, I could feel my heart beating. In that fleeting instant of movement, time stood still, and a memory was born.
On stage, Edmond is brimming with energy and explosive power—one of the standout young stage icons of recent years. His music is full of creativity, conjuring an electric dreamworld within reality and moving through a space where memories and imagination overlap. With sincerity and an easy-going spirit, he shares the music he loves most with you.
Whatever you do, the first time always brings excitement and anticipation. The second time, no matter how hard you try to recreate it, is always something new. Every experience is different. The All in the Timing Concert is Edmond’s first concert, marking the official beginning of his musical journey.
The concert’s exploration of timing draws inspiration from Edmond’s experiences over the past few years. His relationships, work, and perspectives on the people and things around him have all undergone several shifts. His feelings echo those of others who graduated around the same time—young people who have spent a few years finding their way in society and encountering different opportunities. They have experienced failure, as well as moments when their dreams come true. But Edmond believes that everything happens for a good reason, and that when the timing is right, seizing the moment can create a memory you will cherish for the rest of your life.
At this concert, Edmond will perform songs from his debut album, ALL IN THE TIMING, as well as offer fresh interpretations of some of his favourite music. With his background in acting, he places particular emphasis on bringing theatrical elements and music together. He has also conceived a combination of live performance, video sequences, and songs that will take the audience back and forth between reality and a fantastical musical world.
Director Joey Leung joins music director Veegay in bringing together a lineup of acclaimed musicians: pianist Hobing, one of the leading figures at goomusic; the much-in-demand young drummer Stephane Wong; CMgroovy, a bassist who has performed at concerts of all sizes; and H, the driving force and guitarist behind local indie band Tai Tau Fat. Alongside them are close friends who have weathered many storms with Edmond, coming together to share his story with you. This time, let us feel that heartbeat together.
