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.

Association for Reading and Writing in Asia

Arts and Culture and Humanities

The Association for Reading and Writing in Asia was registered as a society on 18 July, 2016, when a group of researchers attending a symposium on reading and writing in Korea voted to move from hosting yearly regional symposia with an audience that primarily consisted of invited participants to hosting a full-fledged conference on reading and writing, open to all academics and students interested in this topic. Some of those who were most instrumental in forming this association from the beginning were Professor Akira UNO, who is Honorary Founder of ARWA, Jeung-Ryeul CHO, Kevin CHUNG, Li-Yu HUNG, and Taeko WYDELL. Details of the development of ARWA follow. ​ Professor Akira Uno (University of Tsukuba, Japan) initiated a regional symposium in 2013 to enhance interactions among researchers and graduate students who were interested in Asian languages and to link the network of researchers who were working on learning difficulties in reading and writing of Asian languages. Four annual symposia have been held in the past four years (2013-2016). Ultimately, in 2016, we created ARWA in order to extend participants from focusing on Japanese, Korean, and Chinese more or less exclusively to focusing on multiple languages and orthographies of Asia.

Deepwell Emmanuel Church

Human Services

現在的深井給人最深刻的印象，就是遠近馳名的燒鵝，居住在香港的人，大多熟識這個地方的特產──燒鵝，深井靈光堂就座落在這個地區。四、五十年代，深井只是新界一個小村落，與荃灣相近。遠在半個世紀前，深井的人口稀少。及後來外來居民漸次遷入這小村，依山及在農田搭建房屋居住，居民大部份是客家人及潮州人。同時先後有九龍紡織廠、生力啤酒廠、嘉頓餅乾廠、美國聯合碳化有限公司等建立，居民多在這些工廠就業，以維持生計。由於交通不太方便，居民的生活和社交都是在村內，因此居民有很好的鄰舍關係。 　　仰面而上，踏過數十級梯級，一座依山而建的禮堂，就是我們的教會──深井靈光堂。深井街坊大都認識在這裏已數十年的教會和小學，並習慣地叫它「靈光」。 「靈光堂」 （TheEmmanuelChurch），按英文 Emmanuel 的意思就是以馬內利──神與我們同在；聽教會長執的分享，教會的名字是「聖靈之光」的意思，因為神與我們同在，就有聖靈的光輝。 　　靈光堂與香港一些其他宗派及獨立教會相似，是由美國的宣教士來香港建立的。靈光堂的根源可追溯至二次大戰香港淪陷前 （1941-1945）的「靈光書室」（Emmanuel Book Room），這書室是由三十年代來華的宣教士Dr. & Mrs. Lechmere Clift 所建立，戰後仍然運作。直至1948年 Dr. Clift 被主接回天家，Mrs. Clift 於1950年將靈光書室交給「洛杉磯聖經學院」（Bible Instituteof LosAngeles）及本會創辦人饒培德牧師夫婦（Rev. Dr. & Mrs. Charles A. Roberts）繼續服事香港的基督徒。 　　靈光堂創辦人於早期蒙上帝的呼召，從美國前來遠東地區宣教。曾於「中國長沙饒培德牧師湖南聖學院」擔任院長，造就上帝的工人，後約於五零年來港，與「洛杉磯聖經學院」開始早期靈光堂的事工，當時只有英文聚會，參加者多是外籍信徒。

Conservative Baptist Ming Tao Church, Limited

Public and Societal Benefit

由美國浸信宣道會差會（Conservative Baptist Foreign Mission Society）差派來港的宣教士暨一群來自明基堂的弟兄姊妹，於1991年在將軍澳寶琳邨寶寧樓西翼二樓201-203室成立「閱讀中心」，及後於1992年建立浸信宣道會明道堂，同年7月正式開始主日崇拜。 感謝神帶領由起初十多位委身開荒工作的肢體，發展至現今過百位肢體的明道堂。我們亦在2020年1月開始兩堂崇拜（主日崇拜和青年崇拜）。 明道宣言 齊崇拜敬畏上主，以靈以誠，頌讚主恩； 按真理跟隨基督，裝備聖徒，心意更新； 讓真愛連結肢體，彼此服侍，建立教會； 傳真道領人歸主，認罪悔改，榮神益人。
