The Hong Kong Children¡¦s Choir (HKCC) was founded in 1969 as a registered non-profit-making charitable organization and has made tremendous contributions for children¡¦s arts education in Hong Kong. HKCC is now the biggest choir in the world and has grown into a diversified arts education organization for children. Under the supervision of Kathy Fok, the current Music Director and Principal Conductor, and more than 100 professional tutors, choir members not only develop their artistic talents, but also learn the importance of team spirit through interesting and well organized practices.
HKCC is invited to perform overseas each year, spreading the message of love and peace in different parts of the world. The Choir has been well received and appreciated in many countries, gaining an international reputation as the ¡§Little Goodwill Singing Ambassadors¡¨ and ¡§one of the best children¡¦s choirs in the world¡¨. HKCC was named ¡§China¡¦s Top Ten Children Chorus¡¨ in 2003 and won the prestigious ¡§Award of the Audience¡¨ at the ¡§Vivace 2006 International Choir Festival¡¨ in Hungary.
Apart from touring abroad, HKCC also actively participates in local charitable events, including the 1999 ¡§Chorathon¡¨ to raise fund for children with hearing disabilities, 2001 ¡§Bridges of Friendship, Bridges of Songs¡¨ concert for the Hong Kong Association of the Deaf, 2003 ¡§All for Love¡¨ fundraising concert for ¡§We Care Education Fund¡¨ established for children who lost their parents in SARS, 2006 fundraising concert for the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and 2008 fundraising music marathon for UNICEF to help suffering children in Sichuan after the massive earthquake.
As the children¡¦s choir that best represents Hong Kong, HKCC took part in many historical moments, including the Hong Kong Handover Ceremony in 1997, the opening ceremony of the Hong Kong International Airport in 1998, the Hong Kong Disneyland Grand Opening in 2005, various performances to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of Hong Kong¡¦s reunification with China in 2007, series of performances celebrating the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, celebrations for the 60th Anniversary of the Founding of the People¡¦s Republic of China and the East Asian Games in 2009.
