It was the utmost privilege of our Mixed Choir members to join the Hong Kong Philharmonic Chorus, Die Konzertisten and peer singers from St. Paul’s Co-educational College and Ying Wa College to sing the famous Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 under the returning Music Director, Maestro Jaap van Zweden, in the Season Opening Concerts of Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra on 9 and 10 September 2022. Our Choir members were coached by famous local conductors, Mr. Apollo Wong and Mr. Felix Yeung, who were the co-chorusmasters for the concerts, which were well received with a standing ovation on both days.

The concert on 9 September 2022 was recorded live for radio, TV and online broadcast:
