The Lantern Festival Concert – Music for CM Li and You was held on 6 February 2025. This year, Yat Po Singers, the first professional a cappella choral theatre company in Hong Kong, was invited to perform. The concert attracted over 60 attendees, including CUHK members and guests from outside the University, to celebrate the Lantern Festival in the ICS courtyard.

The four a cappella artists from Yat Po Singers delivered remarkable performances, showcasing a diverse array of songs that encompassed classical folk songs, pop music, and Cantonese opera suites. Each song was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience.
The Music for CM Li Concert has been held for several years, to commemorate the contribution of Dr. Li Choh-ming, ICS founder and CUHK’s first Vice-Chancellor. Dr. Li believed that CUHK is responsible for “combining traditions with modernity and bringing together China and the West”. It is hoped that the Concert, held near the statue of Dr. Li, can remind us of his influential philosophy. |
