About

Description
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.
