One Beat, One World: Connecting Through the Drum

As the Hong Kong Drum Festival celebrates its 20th Anniversary, we're thrilled to announce our first-ever collaboration with the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra (HKCO). Together, we're presenting an enthralling series of activities titled"One Beat, One World: Connecting Through the Drum." Our mission is to infuse society with positive energy through the mesmerising power of drumming, especially in this post-COVID era.

This inspiring programme features a diverse array of both online and offline drumming activities, showcasing our Group's unwavering commitment to supporting society through music and our relentless efforts to foster social inclusion and connection. Drumming culture not only embodies the richness of China's musical heritage but also serves as a vigorous symbol of it. This cultural extravaganza helps solidify Hong Kong's status as a global hub for captivating events and an epicenter for cultural and artistic exchanges between China and the rest of the world.
