Mission

Aim
To promote “Music • Character • Care • Harmony” through music education.
Introduction
Our charity provides free musical education (choir and orchestra) to underprivileged children from low-income families. Through group training, we aim to raise their interest in music and help them establish their good character. Similarly, through stage performances, we also aim to improve their self-esteem and enable them, being spiritually enriched, to strive for a better future.
Having benefited from our supporters, we equally emphasise on contributing back to society. Our students take a very active part in community-based events, such as free community concerts, in order to spread our care to other people in need; for example, the vulnerable groups, the elderly, single parents, people with disability, etc.. With such positive feedback loop, we aim to ultimately enhance cross-sector social harmony.
Target participants:
