The Hong Kong Children’s Choir

The Hong Kong Children’s Choir (HKCC) was founded in 1969 as the first children’s choir in Hong Kong. HKCC is a registered non-profit-making charitable organization and has made tremendous contributions for children’s arts training in Hong Kong. It is now the biggest choir in the world with over 5,000 members and has grown into a diversified arts organization for children.

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. In 2008, the choir was awarded the “Gold Cup” from “Shanghai International Children’s Chorus Festival”. In 2014, HKCC was selected by the International Federation for Choral Music (IFCM) as one of the IFCM Ambassadors for 2013 to 2015. The Choir was invited to perform in the 2014 “10th World Symposium on Choral Music” in South Korea.

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 anniversaries of Hong Kong’s reunification with China. 

In 2019, HKCC presented the “Asia Pacific Choral Summit” which was awarded the 14th HKADC Award for Arts Promotion and the “Hong Kong Choral Conducting Competition” to celebrate its 50th Anniversary. Additionally, the grand original Cantonese musical production, King of Singers, was selected as one of the Top 10 Music Headlines by RTHK. In 2023, the “HKCC Towards 55th Anniversary – HKCC Pays Tribute to Sam Hui“ concert was held, preserving and carrying forward the Cantopop culture for future generations. In 2024, the 55th Anniversary Choral Camp “Sing Out of the Box” was held to promote diverse choral music and expand the boundaries of Hong Kong’s choral scene.
