School Choir Incubator Programme
Title Sponsor
The School Choir Incubator Programme (the Programme) is an extension programme of HKICF, which aims to enhance the quality and diversity of choral music education and to better cater for the needs of music teachers and conductors on the journey of choral music. Launched in 2021, the Programme spans one school year and combines professional training courses and mentorship support to cultivate an atmosphere conducive to the sustainable development of choral culture in schools.
From 2023 to 2025, Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs) has been our Strategic Partner, supporting our vision in advancing the standards of choral education in Hong Kong. Looking ahead, we’re excited to expand the Programme to more schools, reaching and supporting more teachers and students.
Programme features
In the School Choir Incubator Programme, we provide the following training and support to the participating school teachers and choirs:
- Continuing Professional Development of Teachers, where teachers can attend workshops and lectures by local and overseas experts on various topics related to choral music;
- Mentorship Support, where teachers can receive individualised feedback and guidance from mentors who are experienced choral conductors or educators; and
- Public Performance Opportunities, where teachers can showcase their school choirs’ achievements and progress in concerts organised by the programme.
