SPEAKING AT THE PRESENTATION CEREMONY, THE DEPUTY COMMISSIONER FOR RECREATION AND CULTURE, MR C.K.K. WONG, SAID THE COMPETITION PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR COMPOSERS TO HAVE THEIR WORKS PERFORMED BEFORE AN AUDIENCE - SOMETHING WHICH ACTED AS A VERY POSITIVE STIMULUS TO THEM.

+TO INTRODUCE MORE VARIETY INTO THE PROGRAMME, THIS YEAR WE HAVE INCLUDED CHAMBER MUSIC PERFORMANCE WHICH, WE FEEL,

IS

A COMPARATIVELY UNEXPLORED AREA DESERVING POSITIVE ENCOURAGEMENT, + HE POINTED OUT.
