Concert: August (TBC)

The Summer Concert serves as a key highlight of the York Bowen Festival Hong Kong Academy, providing a valuable performance platform for young musicians.

All performers are required to pass an audition conducted by the York Bowen Festival Hong Kong. It brings together emerging talents to showcase their musical development in a professional setting, while gaining essential stage experience and artistic exposure. Through this concert, participants are encouraged to express their musicality, build confidence, and engage with a wider audience.

The York Bowen Festival Hong Kong – Summer Academy Beginner Class offers young violin and viola students a solid foundation in classical music through small-group lessons and individual coaching, nurturing both technical skills and a lasting love for music.

The programme aims to introduce fundamental musicianship, develop proper instrumental technique, build performance confidence, and prepare students for future musical growth. Participants will also have the opportunity to perform in the prestigious Gala Concert, showcasing their progress on a professional stage.

To provide greater opportunities for both chamber music groups and solo performers, the York Bowen Festival Hong Kong will offer coaching sessions led by tutors from both the York Bowen Festival and the York Bowen Festival Hong Kong Academy.

Tutors for the coaching sessions will be assigned by the York Bowen Festival Hong Kong Academy. However, students may request specific tutors from the available list. While we will make every effort to accommodate these preferences, we cannot guarantee that all students will be assigned their first choice due to tutor availability.
