訪港活動 Inbound Events

ACFEA HK 在過往接待國際樂團時,為了給他們一個豐富又不乏趣味的音樂文化旅程,都會精心安排各式各樣的體驗和表演活動:

音樂會 Concert
正如我們的學員到其他國家遊學一樣,懷著一腔對音樂凡熱誠到訪異國,當然會想稍稍獻技,向當地的音樂愛好者也感受一下自己國家的音樂文化和呈現形底,以音樂拉近彼此的距離。因此,外國樂團每到訪香港,都少不了舉行一兩場音樂會,比如2016年 National Youth Choir Great Britain來港時,我們就曾負責為他們和香港浸會大學的合唱團籌備及舉辦了盛大的表演。在即將來臨的七月,美國科羅拉多兒童合唱團也會到訪香港,屆時將多個本地合作團舉行聯合演出,為此ACFEA HK 早已開始投入準備工作,希望當天為來賓帶給來賓一場耳朵盛宴。 We believe that every band that takes part in an overseas music tour is doing it in the wish spreading music and their unique cultures of music, which they think is worth being listened by more people. This is also an effective way to shorten the distance between two distinctive groups of music lovers in the same globe. Therefore, being the host of such a kind of music tours, ACFEA HK dedicates to help run a well-organized music concert for whoever is visiting Hong Kong. A couple years ago back in 2016, National Youth Choir Great Britain brought off a stunning choir performance with a local choir – Cantoría Hong Kong in the Academic Community Hall of HKBU. ACFEA HK was very honored to be one of the co-hosting organizers at that time. Apart from this, we have started preparing for an attentive hospitality for Colorado Children’s Chorale that is flying from the United States to Hong Kong in May, and several grand joint-concerts with some local orchestras and bands will be held by that time.

學校交流 School exchange
常常說互相學習是進步的最佳方法,外國的樂團身處香港,或多或少想窺探一下本港的音樂。有見及此,我們在舉辦學校交流這方面也十分積極,不時聯絡本地學校並鼓勵他們參與。就舉即將來港的伊頓公學合唱團為例,他們在港期間就曾與德望學校和拔萃男書院的學生聚首一堂,在歡笑中切磋。這樣一來,音樂便不再局限於地域、語言、又或是學派,而是成了一群同樣愛聽愛唱的年輕人的共同語言,說不定還能為相互的文化添上了一抹新色彩。
Learning together helps involve high aspiration for students, especially for those who travel out of their own countries to have a peep at the music cultures in other places around the world. To cater for the needs, we devote ourselves in organizing school exchanging activities by maintaining tight cooperative relationship with some local institutions. For instance, we arranged two separate exchange sessions for Eton College Chapel Choir during their stay in Hong Kong with Good Hope School (GHS) and Diocesan Boys’ School respectively. They learnt from each other through exchanging views while having fun. This is how geographical, language or whatever barriers are broken, and it’s how music is turned into a common language between those young music lovers. Let’s not forget that exchanging thoughts can also give us some inspiration to our own cultures and systems.

機構/社區表演 Institution/Community Performance
除了一些在正式場合的表演(如在演奏廳舉行音樂會)外,海外樂團來到香港,亦有機會深入社區。小至到校或文娛中心,大至教會的音樂崇拜,ACFEA HK希望讓樂團有機會開發不同性質的演出體驗,伊頓公學合唱團在今年四月初也曾到香港的聖約翰座堂作音樂崇拜。

景點遊覽 Site Visit
既然是旅遊,當然不會只學不玩。為了讓樂團在充實的演出和交流行程之間稍稍放鬆心情,ACFEA HK也會加插適量的觀光活動,例如帶他們走走星光大睹,一睹維港景色,又或嚐嚐地道香港美食,感受當地文化。
