[HKFO] About HKFO 認識節樂

The Hong Kong Festival Orchestra (HKFO) and Voices (HKFV) is a non profit-organization established by a group of young musicians to provide a performance platform for talented musicians in Hong Kong. Founded in 2009, HKFO brings together well-experienced musicians from both local and overseas institutions and conservatories for a series of concerts over the year, with members recruited from schools including the Diocesan Boys' and Girls' School, La Salle College, among local universities and tertiary institutions, Harrow School, Royal Academy of Music, Royal College of Music, Royal Northern College of Music, Oxford and Cambridge in the UK, Eastman, Oberlin and Juilliard School of Music in the US.

Realizing the blossoming of musical education in Hong Kong since the 1980s, the founders of HKFO established this high standard orchestra and to accommodate the rising number of talented musicians as they grow and develop their careers, gathering their strength to build the "Music Festival of Tomorrow".

In 2012, the Hong Kong Festival Voices (HKFV) was set up as a professional choral partner of HKFO, visioning to open new avenues for singers in Hong Kong to engage in choral-orchestral performances.

Brought up by a music festival of this generation, HKFO and HKFV aim to create a new musical identity that young musicians in Hong Kong truly belong by creating a "Music Festival of Tomorrow". With the power of youth in hand, HKFO and HKFV celebrate the musical talents of these new leaders, dreamers, and pioneers of tomorrow.
