The Hong Kong Schools Music Festival has been organizing music competitions for primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong since 1949, and the Chinese Music Class was added in 1960. To prepare contestants of the Chinese Music Class, Secondary School - Senior Division of the Hong Kong Schools Music Festival, the HKCO has invited Kwok Kin-ming, Music Officer of the Music Office and Second Runner-up and winner of the Outstanding Young Conductor in Hong Kong award in the 2011 Hong Kong International Conducting Competition for Chinese Music to conduct the Orchestra in Chinese music ensemble pieces in previous syllabuses.
