FORMED UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE ARTS ASSOCIATION, THE YOUTH CHOIR AIMS AT FOSTERING A MUSICAL INTEREST AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE, DEVELOPING SINGING POTENTIAL AND OFFERING THEM OPPORTUNITIES TO PERFORM PUBLICLY.
MR KWOK SAID THE IDEA OF A YOUTH CHOIR STEMMED FROM THE SUCCESS OF THE SHAM SHUI PO CHILDREN'S CHOIR.
+SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1981, THE CHILDREN'S CHOIR HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR CULTURAL ATTRACTIONS IN THE DISTRICT. IN VIEW OF THIS, THE ASSOCIATION SUGGESTED ORGANISING A YOUTH CHOIR TO INCLUDE A WIDER AGE GROUP, + MR KWOK SAID.
YOUNG PEOPLE AGED OVER 16, WHO LIVE, WORK OR STUDY IN SHAM SHUI PO CAN APPLY TO JOIN THE CHOIR. THE ENTRANCE FEE IS $30, WITH A MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION OF $20.

UPON ENROLMENT, CHOIR MEMBERS WILL RECEIVE WEEKLY TWO HOURS OF VOCAL TRAINING AT 7.30 PM ON FRIDAYS AT THE CHEUNG SHA WAN COMMUNITY CENTRE.
DR LI CHAU-YUAN, A LOCAL COMPOSER AND A LECTURER AT NORTHCOTE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, HAS BEEN APPOINTED DIRECTOR OF THE CHOIR AND WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TRQINING AND CONDUCTING THE SINGERS.
APPLICATION FROMS FOR THE YOUTH CHOIR ARE NOW AVAILABLE AT THE SHAM SHUI PO DISTRICT OFFICE AND SUB-OFFICES, AND THE SHAM SHUI PO ARTS ASSOCIATION AT $14 AT LAI FU HOUSE IN LAI KOK ESTATE.
