Chinese Poems are the valuable cultural treasures of our nation. It not only reflects our sense of beauty and philosophical thinking, but also the root and soul of our nation.

 

Contemporary Choral Compositions of Chinese Poems Concert is our musical presentation of original compositions from our Hong Kong Composers’Guild (HKCG) with a selection of Chinese Poems as lyrics through the two languages (Chinese and English) and three dialects (Cantonese, Putonhua and English) format, to unfold a new horizon of cultural exchange beyond the language boundary. With such aims, we produce this category of original music compositions in the form of CDs and score publications.
