City University of Hong Kong, Chinese Orchestra

Established in July 2002 and supported by the University, the Chinese Orchestra of City University of Hong Kong was spontaneously founded by traditional Chinese music lovers.

Every year, the Chinese Orchestra attends and holds concerts. For example, at Mid-Autumn Festival Concert, we share the delight of celebrating traditional festival via music and gourmet snacks; at the CityU Arts Festival, we have invited music lovers from Mainland China and Taiwan for exchange visit and ensemble performance; upon the mini concert at the CityU Information Day, we present to visitors of the charismatics of CityU Chinese Orchestra; at Annual Performance, we present a grand and magnificent performance to showcase the achievements made by the CityU Chinese Orchestra in the past year.

Apart from the regular practices and rehearsals, CityU Chinese Orchestra also organises musical instrument classes, which is a great opportunity for students to join. Students may also join our regular practices after the completion of the 8-weeks lesson training.

Reviewing the past 18 years, we aim at promoting traditional Chinese culture and providing a platform where traditional music lovers could communicate with each other and develop a close rapport. Now we have more than 70 members. With the indefatigable endeavor of all members, the Chinese Orchestra of the City University of Hong Kong exhibits robust vitality and expands steadily.
