100 Musicians on Cathay Pacific's New Airbus Asian Youth Orchestra World Tour



The Asian Youth Orchestra had all 600 tickets sell out within 1 hour of going on sale! To make the day even sweeter, before heading to their sold-out concert in Toulouse, France, all #AYOHK members were invited for a photo shoot in front of the new CX Airbus A350. Cathay Pacific CEO Rupert Hogg traveling in from Hong Kong to attend the concert and meet with #AYOHK members was especially appreciated and marked the importance of the occasion!

The Hong Kong-based orchestra recently returned from its 6 week Global Performance Tour, which took place from 25th July to 6th September and included France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, USA, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Beijing.

It was a grand day! Such a rare opportunity for the orchestra members to get so close to an airplane, particularly a brand new CX Airbus A350!

Richard Pontzious, AYO Founder and Artistic Director, stood at the podium, spotlighting on Hong Kong’s commitment to education, youth, and great music. A proud moment where Hong Kong business and culture melded seamlessly together for the delivery of the new A350, with representatives from Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Brussels, Cathay Pacific CEO Rupert Hogg, local Toulouse dignitaries and several members of the media from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China in attendance. Not to mention the standing ovation the Asian Youth Orchestra received from the 600 guests who filled the dazzlingly lit concert hall later that evening! This was also the first time Airbus has had a symphony orchestra perform in their Event Center.
