Music brings people together
The Asian Youth Orchestra brings together many young lovers of music from all over the region to share their pleasure and enthusiasm for music with each other, and to share their music with many audiences.
The Deputy to the Governor, Mrs Anson Chan, said this today (Monday) when officiating at the opening ceremony of the Asian Youth Orchestra Rehearsal Camp.
"It gives you the opportunity to find new and deeper ways of achieving that 'concord of sweet sounds', through the discipline of having to work together in harmony and through the delight of sharing ideas and interests with new friends," she said.
The Orchestra, brought together for a season each year, drawing together people from many countries and cities, sharing together ideas, vitality and influence, is one of the stars illuminating the modern life of the region, Mrs Chan said.
