School Orchestra

Background

The Orchestra was established in 1990. Over the years, it has developed into a full-size orchestra, and now has around 30 members. Our School Orchestra is a special group in Canossa College and is an integral part of  the school’s music life. 

On campus, it gave numerous performances on various occasions like Speech Day, Millennium Concert, Campus Visit, Christmas celebration, joint preparatory school music performance etc. 

Off campus, Canossa College Orchestra takes part in the Joint School Music Association Orchestra Competition every year. In 2018 and 2019, the Orchestra was awarded Gold Award in two consecutive years. Students are also formed into small ensemble groups and achieve satisfactory results in the Hong Kong Schools Music Festival and other competitions. 

The Orchestra is now under the baton of Mr. Joe Chan Hok Chun who shows great enthusiasm in developing young musicians. Furthermore, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of our school, we have invited Mr. Leung Chi Pong to compose an original symphonic song, ‘Festival Celebration’ (節慶禮) which will be performed by the Orchestra in the celebration concert.
