SingFest Limited

Arts and Culture and Humanities

Education is at the heart of SingFest. The mission of SingFest, a charitable organization, is to provide the highest quality of performances and innovative educational opportunities connecting local singers, instrumentalists, audiences and donors. Since 2012, SingFest has launched a series of choral-related education programmes for professional musicians, school teachers, university and secondary students, as well as music enthusiasts, under the guidance of world-class maestros. Established as a summer festival, the 2014/15 season marked a critical time as SingFest evolved into a year-round programme “BACH 330” supported by the Arts Capacity Development Funding Scheme of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. In celebration of Bach’s 330th birth anniversary and made up of over 25 choral events including Bach Cantata Lecture-Concerts, masterclasses and school tour, BACH 330 connected the local community of musicians and audiences with international maestros and artists, receiving wide acclaim. A Germany tour of Bach Christmas Oratorio at the invitation of Thüringer Bachwochen followed, together with an appearance in RTHK’s production Christmas Concert in the Park – Pastoral Symphony. In 2016, SingFest presented Bach im Theater, the first classical choral theatre production in town. Combining physical movements, theatrical elements and contemporary insights, the newly-introduced art-form aims to breathe new life into classical choral music through an innovative showcase for young talent. In 2017, the second year-round programme “Choral Polygon” continued to promote early music and repertoire otherwise rarely performed through a variety of theatrical performances and educational events. In 2018/19 season, we embarked on another meaningful year-round project “choral:Images”, presenting staged productions of Bach’s works and micro-movies featuring Monteverdi’s madrigals, to promote choral arts and inspire humanity through the beauty of music. Proactive in promoting choral music with high-quality performances, SingFest strives to pursue not only the finest artistic standard in music but also a broader theatrical context.

Say Yeah Limited

Education

SAY YEAH is a charity organization based in Hong Kong. SAY YEAH is the english Pinyin close to the Cantonese common word 死嘢. Originally, the word ‘死’ is used to describe death, and the word ‘嘢’ is used to describe things or matters. By combining the two words together, 死嘢 becomes a slang with the best suitable meaning of “dead” and “dying soon.” The reason why we chose to incorporate SAY YEAH into our name is to have an emphasis on and remind people that to be afraid of dying is absolutely normal and not big of a deal. Therefore, we should be grateful, and ‘SAY YEAH’ To 死嘢. We aim to bring in innovative approaches, i.e. SAY YEAH education for students, in order to help them understand and experience the true meaning of death, so we can SAY YEAH to a new perspective on death. 死嘢 SAY YEAH is here to provide: 1. The SAY YEAH Hotline The SAY YEAH hotline mainly targets people who have suicidal thoughts and are seeking stress relief, to deliver them a message of: “what it means to cross the boundary between life and death.” 2. Popularize SAY YEAH Culture We intend to host regular events such as concerts, art projects, and stage plays to promote an active SAY YEAH culture to the people. 3. A Living Funeral Have you ever thought of how you would like to say goodbye to your friends and families? “A Living Funeral” offers you an opportunity to customise your “own” funeral. We believe that death is not as scary as it is after all. It will indeed allow you to understand and embrace death from another angle. 4. SAY YEAH Education SAY YEAH education organises various activities such as lectures, day trips, observation camps and it’s mission is to help youngsters to have open, positive perspectives and optimistic thoughts on death. 5. The Perfect Funeral In addition, 死嘢 SAY YEAH offers a unique one-stop funeral service to long-term patients and elderlies in memory of the deceased.

We agree plastic is an amazing product; versatile, cheap, light, and it saves a lot of lives too - think of plastics used in medicine! It’s how we dispose of plastic that is causing the problem. Our addiction to plastic and our ‘disposable’ lifestyle are now starting to pose a threat to the survival of marine species, as well as ourselves! Please remember plastic does not degrade, or decompose. It is virtually indestructible and while you can throw it away, you cannot get rid of it. It stays with us forever.
