HKICF2024 Competition Cum Masterclass

The Hong Kong Inter-School Choral Festival ( HKICF ) is a unique learning platform specifically designed for primary and secondary school choirs in Hong Kong. Its primary objective is to offer equal opportunities for choral education, catering to students with varying resources and providing them with access to the world of choral art. The festival encompasses a wide range of activities including large-scale choral masterclasses, competitions, choral concerts, and international summer music camps.

HKICF2024 Flagship Programme - Competition cum Masterclass will be commenced in February.

The goal of HKICF is to let students in Hong Kong experience the full flavours of an international choral festival without having to travel. This is why in every session of the competition, there are two different adjudicators with one of them being from overseas. This is to facilitate music exchange between Hong Kong and the rest of the world.

In the Competition, we would like to emphasise that the participating teams are not competitors, but are actually learning partners. After each choir’s performance, adjudicators will come onstage for mini-coaching sessions, actively engaging with the choir, conductor, and the audience. Each choir is then encouraged to perform their piece again, incorporating the comments and suggestions received from the adjudicators. Through this exchange, both the choir and the audience can benefit from the adjudicators’ constructive comment, encouraging attendees to learn from different perspectives, creating a valuable learning experience for all.

Welcome students, music teachers, and parents to join us and witness the spectacular performances of the participating choirs for free.

Free tickets will be available for public registration starting at 11 AM on January 12th, 2024. Seats are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
