The story of this programme is a personal reminiscence of the writer’s childhood in Choi Hung Estate (彩虹邨). It is inspired by Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges.​

​

It begins with a man walking into a Cha Chaan Teng (茶餐廳 resturant in local Hong Kong style) located in the public housing estate Choi Hung Estate, his childhood home. He comes back to meet an old friend whom he hasn't seen for 22 years. As the story unfolds, we learn about their childhood living and playing together in Choi Hung, and that his friend is soon going to be blind. Through their conversation and music, this programme explores the different perspectives when facing inevitable loss. 

In the concert, we hear two beautiful secular cantatas written by Handel and Monteclair, representing two different perspectives towards pain and lost love; two challenging passacaglias written by Lully/d’Anglebert and Biber on one identical ground bass line; C.P.E. Bach’s engrossing Trio sonata, Sanguineus and Melancholicus, in which a conversation between an optimist and a pessimist is depicted by two instruments; and, to conclude, Marais’ exquisitely calming piece, The Human Voices. At first sight, one may not be able to see the relation between the music and the story, but one just has to sense it from a different perspective.
