Her debut concert held in the Hong Kong Coliseum in October 2011, “The Water Lily Concert”, led by three renowned musical directors working with an orchestra of forty-two musicians, was considered unprecedented and phenomenal, and was recognized by all as an “art Show upsurge that overpowers the HK Coliseum”. She then had her second concert held in the Hong Kong Coliseum in May 2014, and her first collaboration concert with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra held in the Concert Hall at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in October 2015, “Fragrance of Music, Ivana Wong x Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra”.
