FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES

Handbell Concert by the Hong Kong Youth Handbell Ensemble

Held on 28 July 2007 at the St. Andrew's Cathedral Nave

It was a balmy Saturday evening as more than 200 guests and well-wishers of Project Khmer H.O.P.E. streamed in to catch the Hong Kong Youth Handbell Ensemble in action. Led by Ms Emily Li, founder and artistic director of the Ensemble, the ringers gave a rousing performance of sacred music and familiar favorites. These ringers aged between 8 and 15, mesmerized the crowd with their energy and fascinating movements using handbells. Mr. Kevin Ko, composer and President of the Asia Handbell Music Centre, also captivated the audience a solo performance using a range of handbells.

A free-will offering was collected after Ds Bessie Lee, Director of Project Khmer H.O.P.E. gave a word of thanks. All the funds raised from the concern will be used towards supporting PKHʼs activities. Revd Canon Louis Tay closed the concert with a prayer.

We wish to thank the Asia Handbell Music Centre, the Hong Kong Youth Handbell Ensemble, Ms Emily Li, Mr Kevin Ko and all staff and volunteers involved for making the eveningʼs performance possible.
