About Hermione Lai

I’ve always loved music! Ever since I commenced my university studies, I have been exploring more and more classical music – operas, live orchestral concerts, recordings, you name it. Many people think that classical music is boring, but it’s so full of emotions and feelings that it touches one’s soul directly. I am particularly interested in discovering intriguing stories of composers behind their compositions, and lesser-known classical music gems. Will you join me on this exciting journey?
