ENSEMBLES 2024

Pui Kiu College Choir

Pui Kiu College Choir, established in 2010, has grown into a SSA choir with three parts. The choir currently consists of approximately 60 members. In the past, we have participated in various Hong Kong and international competitions, including the Hong Kong Schools music festival, Hong Kong Inter school Choral Festival, Joint School Music Competition, Hong Kong International Music Festival and World Youth choir festival, and achieving excellent results. The choir has also performed in Taiwan, Suzhou, Shenzhen, and Macau. This will be our first participation in the Vienna Music Festival, and we hope it will further enhance the students' level.
