Offering a showcase platform for local composers

As a professional orchestra, the HKCO cannot be more aware of the compositional efforts behind each piece of original music. In support of young local composers, we created the Music from the Heart series in 1999. Since then, we have been recruiting and performing new works, holding discussion forums etc., with a view to keeping the forward momentum of Chinese music. To date, we have already helped launch several local composers on the way to a successful career. They have become a source of energy for Chinese music in Hong Kong, and are making their way to the international music arena.
