Our ‘Music from the Heart’ series is entering its 22nd year. Over the decades, it has been a platform for more than 40 composers to showcase their talent. More than 100 compositions have been premiered by the professional virtuosi of the HKCO, a proud achievement that won its accolade as a milestone for the development of original music in Hong Kong. In the coming season, we will continue to inject innovative concepts and vitality into Chinese music by calling for new compositions, presenting them in concerts, and open discussions.

Submission deadline:

All submissions should be sent by mail to reach the office of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra not later than 6 Jan 2021 (by postmark date). Please mark on the envelope ‘Music from the Heart – Invitation for Original Compositions’. Each submission should include one full score, the Application Form duly filled in, the composer’s resume, brief introduction of the entry, a DEMO of the entry work, and a digital score stored in ‘Finale’(or ‘Sibelius’) and PDF formats.
