Since its founding in 1972, these choristers have kept a very active schedule of performing, recording, broadcasting, and touring. Under the direction of current Music Director Graham Ross, one of the U.K.\u2019s star choral conductors, the Choir has been praised for its consistently \u201cthrilling\u201d and \u201coutstanding\u201d performances worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming community concert, the Choir will perform a selection of favourite choral compositions, including works by Bach, Vaughan Williams, Tavener, Swingle, and more! Our very own HKU student singers will join the Choir for the finale, singing two of Rutter\u2019s most delightful works, All Things Bright and Beautiful and A Clare Benediction (written for the College). It\u2019s a wonderful occasion for the HKU community to come together!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","location_type":[350136],"event_category":[373314,373457],"area_type":[350139],"event_language":[],"series":[],"event_category_other":[],"class_list":["post-1293811","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry","location_type-indoor-en","event_category-music-en","event_category-music-choir-en","area_type-non-local","search-detail"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/1293811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1293811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"location_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location_type?post=1293811"},{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=1293811"},{"taxonomy":"area_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/area_type?post=1293811"},{"taxonomy":"event_language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_language?post=1293811"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=1293811"},{"taxonomy":"event_category_other","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category_other?post=1293811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
