ABOUT

Musicus Society was founded in 2010 as the vision of cellist Trey Lee to become an international music organization with quality performances and world-class home-grown artists. It is a Hong Kong registered charity with the Hon. Tung Chee-hwa as Honorary Patron.

The Society’s mission is to promote cross-cultural collaboration of music internationally between top local and overseas artists through performances and by nurturing the next generation of talent. Each year, the Society presents three major programs: Musicus Fest, Musicus Heritage and Musicus Inspires!

Musicus Fest is an international partnership for world-class artists to collaborate, showcasing Musicus’ exceptional artists and working with its young talents to bring their artistry to new heights.

In addition to the objectives of Musicus Fest, Musicus Heritage enhances the public’s knowledge of Hong Kong’s culture and history by presenting music programs that reflect their heritage settings.

Musicus Inspires! is an educational program that aims to cultivate young talents from all social backgrounds. The initiative provides training and performance opportunities for emerging artists with great musicians, such as the “Call for Scores” for young composers, the “Young Artist Audition” and the “Ensemble Training” for instrumentalists. It also organizes “School Visits” for students to explore various aspects of music.
