Music Children Gala Dinner

30 Aug 2023

 

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Music Children Foundation (MCF) on August 30, 2023 (Wednesday), a fund raising gala dinner was held at The Langham Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui.

The funds raised during the event will be used to support the music education initiatives of MCF, aiming to strengthen family bonds and create an impact to the lives of many children through music.

Upon entering the venue our guests were surrounded with music performed by the children string ensemble and wind ensemble at the reception. Tables in the dining hall were assigned with names of renowned music composers, adding a little twist of fun for our guests to locate their seats.

There were different performances during the night. There was parent-child choir, a duet between a teenage student and the image of his past self on screen, and the ensemble of teachers with students. Each performance radiated the power of music that tugged at the heartstrings.

The special guest performer Miss Ivana Wong enchanted the guests with her piano accompaniment to the Music Children Senior Choir. Her performance and encouragement for the children to follow their dreams elevated the atmosphere to one of the evening’s climaxes.  Thank you Ivana for the love and support!

The highlight of the gala was the music connection featuring seven pianists in “14 Hands in One” – a demonstration of exceptional piano skills with dramatic elements that left the audience in awe. The final act was performed by our music team with their uplifting music, bringing the night to a perfect conclusion.

Guests in attendance included long-standing supporters, past, present and future sponsors, Music Children Foundation’s Board of Governors, members and Steering Committees, volunteers, and friends from various sectors. Everyone remarked that it was a memorable evening, an evening at a live concert.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the project sponsors, Lo Ying Shek Chi Wai Foundation and The Great Eagle Group of Companies, as well as the in-kind sponsors, Sino Group, Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation, Tai O Cultural Association, and Tom Lee Music. Special thanks goes to Miss Ivana Wong, the performing musicians, the conductor team, the Music Children and their parents, as well as the production team. We also extend our deepest appreciation to all the generous donors. Last but not least, to the two hosts Taisan and Ms. Robyn Lamsam who created a fantastic atmosphere for the evening, thank you and job well done!

Music Children Foundation will continue to dedicate its efforts to bring music to underprivileged children and their families, and to the community in Hong Kong.
