Following its successful debut, HKICF2027 continues to feature the Choral Repertoire Reading Session. This highly anticipated initiative invites renowned composers to share their exceptional works with local conductors and music teachers, expanding repertoire selections for school choirs while driving the growth and promotion of contemporary choral compositions.

For this year’s sessions, we are honoured to feature two outstanding composers: Dr. Steve Ho (Former Assistant Professor at The Education University of Hong Kong) and Mr. Alex Tam (Chorus Director of Opera Hong Kong). The Teachers’ Choir will participate as the demonstration choir, singing the composers’ original pieces under their direction, while participants explore the works and gain practical insights into musical structure, stylistic characteristics, and the faithful interpretation of lyrics. 

Participants will also receive excerpts of the music covered during the session, enriching their choral resources.The sessions also offer a valuable opportunity for non-Teachers’ Choir members to experience what the choir is like and to consider future participation.
