The Chinese University of Hong Kong Chorus

Music Director & Conductor: Leon Chu

The Chinese University of Hong Kong Chorus was founded in 1972 by a group of CUHK students. With Leon Chu as the current Music Director and Conductor, the Chorus presents a range of diversely-themed performances, making an influence to broaden the horizon of the local choral music scene. The Chorus has constantly engaged in exchange activities with choirs in the mainland China and Southeast Asia. In recent years, the Chorus was invited to various large-scale performances in local and overseas music festivals.

CU Chorus has been actively commissioning new works by Hong Kong composers, so as to develop a unique and local voice in Hong Kong choral music. In 2014, the Chorus released its first commercial album ""Spring Breeze Kisses My Face — The Choral Music of Jan Tien-hao"" on The Modern Audio label, to such popular acclaim that it is awarded as one of the Best Sales Releases ( Classical and Operatic Works Recording ) in the IFPI Hong Kong Top Sales Music Award 2014. The second Album "Sing Our Own Song" was released in 2019, promoting Hong Kong Cantonese Choral Music.
