2023 marked the year that visually impaired / deafblind members revealed their great music talents! We organized exchange activities that they could travel and win a several awards with their great music performance on stage!

Greater Bay Area Music Exchange – Erhu Contest

The graduates of our Erhu training participated in the Greater Bay Area Music Exchange – Erhu Contest in Shenzhen at Oct 2023. The exchange was a great gathering of all those talented within the Greater Bay Area. 

Our graduate played their best on the stage with some classic songs, which received round of applause from the audience! The experience to perform outside Hong Kong is memorable as this was the first time they stepped out and made a breakthrough to themselves. We hoped they could learn from it and continue to make new friends with music!
