Mozart's Requiem DVD

I've got a Mozart Requiem DVD. It was conducted by Sir Colin Davis and performed by the Bavarian Radio Symphony and Chorus. Any learners member who is interested can E-mail me for borrowing.

Learners' No.1 Primary School in Guangxi

Since 2003, the choir has co-organized a number of charity concerts with the Hong Kong Christian Council to raise funds for education and medical services in China. The July 05 concert has raised fund to assist the establishment of the Learners' No.1 Primary School in Guangxi, China (廣西尤加鎮那奔學士第一小學).

The Hong Kong Christian Council organized a trip to Guizhou last Decemeber to visit various school sites. You can see the attached article for details.

During the coming Easter holiday, the Hong Kong Christian Council will organize another trip to Guizhou / Guangxi. One of the activity is to see the inauguration of the Learner's No.1 Primary School. The trip details will be posted later on the Learner's website. Anyone interested please contact Winnie Wong (who sings in the Alto part).

A final note is that in the coming Apr 06 concert we may be able to raise enough fund to support re-building another school (guess the name may be Learner's No.2 Primary School??).

July 05 Concert DVD

Thanks to the help of Arthur, we have produced a finely edited DVD of the July 05 Concert. Video footages of the choir and the conductor have been carefully mixed / tuned to achieve a near professional feel. I will prepare about 15 copies of the DVD which will be available for sale in this coming Friday rehearsal. Each DVD cost HK$20 which is on a first come first serve basis.

Update - the 15 DVD's have been sold out. Anyone who still want a copy can contact me.
