About HKYPC

The Hong Kong Young People's Chorus (HKYPC) is a group of singers who are in their teens or twenties. They share a common background of being an active chorister in their respective secondary schools and universities. Together they blend in their voices with different flavours, and create a whole new choral experience for themselves and for the audience.

The formation of HKYPC was sparked off in early September 2004, with an ICQ conversation recording the first motion of starting a chamber choir of Hong Kong students who have recently graduated from local high schools. Further communications over the following months involving people around the globe led to an official invitation sent out in late January 2005 to potential parties both in Hong Kong and overseas. Auditions were held starting late April and rehearsals in May. The inauguration (and fundraising for Hong Kong Christian Council) concert was held at Union Church Hong Kong on 11 August 2005.

As a chorus with members from various backgrounds, Hong Kong Young People's Chorus is currently exploring different music genres, from sacred and secular, through renaissance pieces of the 16th century to a piece that was composed just a month ago.

關於香港青唱

港青唱的成員都是十來二十多歲,熱衷合唱音樂的青年。他們一起憑著對音樂的熱誠,融合各種音樂風格,帶來全新的合唱體驗。

二零零四年九月,ICQ閒談時,幾名骨幹成員提出成立一個結集不同中學畢業生的室樂合唱團,得到不少留學海外的合唱團員幫忙籌組。終於在零五年一月 終,正式邀請在港及在外合唱團員加入。四月底開始試音選拔,五月開始排練,至七月合唱團的雛形大致確立。有賴各方支持,二零零五年八月十一日成功舉行首場 演出。

香港青唱成立至今,不斷努力發掘和嘗試不同的音樂風格。從聖樂到流俗音樂,從十六世紀文藝復興時期的音樂到剛完成的作品,都是他們的探索方向,藉此希望能夠以融和的美妙樂韻,帶領聽眾體會"美"的多樣化。
