City University Choir (CityU Choir) was founded in 1990, aiming at promoting and developing students’ interest in choral music. The Choir offered members opportunities to perform and to improve singing techniques, and ultimately to enrich the cultural and artistic life of the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and the society. Members of the Choir comprise students, alumni and staff of CityU with a majority of undergraduate students as our core members. In this academic year, the Choir was invited by Swire Properties to perform Christmas songs at the Festival Walk on 23 December 2011.
CityU Choir Annual Performance 2012 – “Golden Oldies” will be held at Wei Hing Theatre, City University of Hong Kong at 8:00pm on Sunday, 25 March 2012. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of our debut performance, we will present you the most favorite oldies from 1940’s to 1980’s of East and West. The highlight of this concert will be the Hong Kong premiere of Helen Wang(王海玲)’s “忘了我是誰”. The choral version was arranged by Mr. Chu-Lan Kao (高竹嵐) of National Taiwan University Chorus / Blis-sing A Cappella Group to give you a refreshed and modernized feeling of this pioneering 80’s Taiwan folk song. The programme also includes other songs that you like such as “The Moon Represents My Hearts (月亮代表我的心)”, “Perhaps Love”, “El Condor Pasa”, “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing”, “Unchained Melody” from the legendary movie ‘Ghost’ , several renowned songs of the Beatles and a medley of the musicals of Andrew Lloyd Webber.
