The main objectives of the Music Office are to promote general music
education in the community, especially for young people; to develop public
interest in music; and to foster sharing of music among local young musicians
and their counterparts all over the world. The Music Office runs 18 youth
orchestras/bands/choirs that have 1 300 members. In 2003, it organised
an instrumental music training scheme for 4 200 trainees, short-term music
interest courses for 2 000 participants, and 340 musical activities for
audiences that totalled 190 000. Other major events included a music camp,
youth music 'interflows', and music youth exchange programmes for local,
Mainland and overseas young musicians. |
