Hong Kong Young People’s Chorus (HKYPC), a local non-profit-making organization, was founded in 2005. Though her original founding intent of participating in the upcoming Choir Olympics at Fujian was not realised, she gave her inaugural concert in the summer of 2005 at the Hong Kong Union Church.
HKYPC’s members consist of enthusiastic choral musicians from both the local and international choral scene, many of which come from prominent participating schools in the Hong Kong Schools Music Festival. Owing to limitations on rehearsals from the membership of many overseas members, the choir performs twice each year. The chorus’ repertory span from sacred to popular music, from classical to contemporary genres, striving to expose ourselves and our audiences to music of each style and language. To date HKYPC has offered approximately 10 performances, with selections including Rutter’s Requiem (chamber version), Ward Swingle’s Music History 101, as well as premiering pieces by budding local and contemporary composers such as Stella Tsang, George Lam, Wang Nan, Jerry Hui, Richard Tsang, Morten Lauridsen, Eric Whitacre, and Matsushima Ko.
In January 2008, HKYPC was the core chorus in Hong Kong Youth Wind Philharmonia’s rendition of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana (Hong Kong Premiere). In July 2009, HKYPC has had a recording session for RTHK Radio 4’s programme, Music of Friends, which was aired in October; on Christmas Eve HKYPC was part of the core chorus in RTHK’s production of Christmas Concert in the Park 2009 – The Messiah Story. And the chorus was again invited by the LCSD Cultural Presentations Section, to be the demonstration choir in the Music Appreciation Concerts series with Jimmy Shiu in November and February 2010.

香港青唱為本地非牟利團體，成立於二零零五年，本是為了參加翌年於福建舉行之合唱奧林匹克而籌組之室內合唱團。爾後雖然未能成行，卻成就了零五年夏天於香港佑寧堂的第一場音樂會。
香港青唱的成員多活躍於本港或外地合唱音樂活動，絕大部分畢業自幾所於校際音樂節屢獲殊榮的中學，個人亦在聲樂或器樂達到相當的造詣。由於時間上遷就海外團員，故每年定於夏冬兩季演出。曲目廣泛，從聖樂到流俗，從古典到當代，各種風格及語言飽覽無遺。
香港青唱至今已主辦過大小約十次音樂會，曾演出曲目有：瑞特的《安魂曲》室樂版、史溫格所編之《音樂歷史１０１》等，以及多首本地及當代作曲家如曾麗明、林子鈞、王南、許子維、曾葉發、勞律森、韋塔克、松下耕的作品作全球或香港首演。
二零零八年一月，香港青唱以主要團體身份，協助香港愛樂青年管樂團籌組八十人的合唱團，參與新編卡爾．奧夫《布朗尼之歌》管樂團版的香港首演。二零零九年七月，香港青唱曾為香港電台第四台之「室樂雅聚」節目進行錄音音樂會，節目於十月份播出；十二月廿四日亦將作為主力團體在香港公園演出「聖誕園林音樂會－彌賽亞的故事」。另外，再受康文署文化節目組邀請，於十一月及二零一零年二月為蕭樹勝主持之《黃昏前/後讓音樂響起》導賞音樂會系列作示範合唱團。
