The Virtual Choir Project has been a core HKICF component that uses choral music as a means of social engagement and empowerment. Since 2023, we have partnered with different NGOs and/or charitable organisations to spread messages of love, care, and inclusion while spotlighting underprivileged communities.
The Virtual Choir Project 2026 centers on the theme of sports, our Collaborative Partner, Inspiring HK Sports Foundation, is a charity that empowers youth through sports, while our creative partner, Every Life is a Song, is a social enterprise founded by Ms. Vicky Fung and Prof. Chow Yiu Fai, who have been commissioned to write this year’s theme song. This year, we have invited TWGHs Kitty Woo Music and Art Development Centre to join us as Administrative Partner, further bringing the project to schools and our community.
Virtual Choir of Previous Years
We Sing
2025
The Virtual Choir Project presented “We Sing”, which involved over 2,000 students from 48 primary and secondary schools. We were proud to work with MindHK, Hong Kong’s leading mental health charity, as our collaborative partner to raise awareness about youth mental health through music. Supporting the project was Every Life is a Song, whose founders, renowned artists Ms. Vicky Fung and Prof. Chow Yiu Fai, created the theme song for this impactful community endeavour.
Love’s Boundless Flight
2024
We are proud to collaborate with the charity New Sight, supporting the remarkable mission of a Hong Kong physician in the Republic of Congo, Africa, to restore and protect sight through operating an eye hospital. The project has attracted nearly 50 school choirs, over 2000 students to join.
聽不到的愛
2023
We partnered with the Children’s Cancer Foundation in 2023, with more than 2,200 students from 60 secondary and primary schools singing together to show their support and encouragement for children with cancer. It was the first time to collaborate with charities to organise the virtual choir project, hoping to use this opportunity to spread the message of love and care through singing.
每一個明天
2022
During Covid-19, in order to enable local primary and secondary students to continue their learning while schools were closed, and to support frontline healthcare workers, HKVC organised its first Virtual Choir Project on an individual basis. This new initiative allowed students to sing with others virtually, to encourage the continuous learning, resulting in enthusiastic participation from over 1,500 students. Their voices were compiled into a music video, aiming to connect society through choral music and to express gratitude and encouragement to all those who remained committed to their roles during the pandemic, fighting for the well-being of the people of Hong Kong.
