16 December 2008 - International Music Exchange with Baron Music School
PBE traveled to Hong Kong for a musical exchange with BARON school of music, a established specialised school in contemporary music for all instrunments. Very impressive. Their school director is Roland Ng, a very young chap. The school has close to 70 professional musicians including local stars like Nancy Loo, Norman Lee, Linxi, Peter Kam, Steven Ip, and Victor Tse. Definitely an eye opener.
