Music Office

The main aims of the Music Office are to promote general music education in Hong Kong, especially among young people, develop public interest in music and to foster sharing of music among local young musicians and their counterparts across the world. The Music Office runs 18 youth orchestras, bands and choirs with 1 380 members. In 2006, it organised an instrumental music training scheme for 4 800 trainees, short-term music interest courses for 2 000 participants, and 390 music activities to entertain a total of 170 000 people. Other major events included a music camp, youth music 'interflows', and music exchange programmes for local, Mainland and overseas young musicians.
