Fête de la Musique 2011

My pleasure to be invited to be the music director of La Fete de la Musique on 1 July, 2011.

Fête de la Musique is the largest international live music event in the world, held in 450 cities across the globe on the very same day each year – June 21 –developed by the French Government in 1982. The aim of the event is to make music everywhere, to celebrate music and to expose as many people to music as possible, also promoting free music from local artists and performers. Amateur and professional musicians are encourage to perform in the streets. It began in France and has since spread to many countries.

Fête de la Musique 2011 in Hong Kong was held on 1 July this year since it's a public holiday, so it can reach more people during a non-working day. It took place in Olympic City.

I was helping them to arrange performances by different amateur music lovers, some of my students were participated in the performance too. My job is mainly coaching performers, playing piano for singers, and operating the performance. There was so much fun meeting with different people from different ages, background and interests.
