Hong Kong Voices is one of the leading chamber choirs in Hong Kong. Founded in 2000, the Choir is dedicated to bring a wide range of choral masterpieces to Hong Kong audience. The Choir's size is flexible depending on the repertoire, and the core group consists of around 16 members. In past seasons, the Choir gave first Hong Kong performances of a number of Bach Cantatas, Schoenberg's Friede auf Erden and the London version of Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requirem. The Choir made its radio debut on RTHK4 in 2002.
Hong Kong Voices has collaborated with many leading local artists including conductor Wing-Sie Ip, organists Siu Wai Ng and Peter Yue, singers Yuki Ip, Stefanie Willis, Richard Frewer and Apollo Wong, and performs regularly with the Hong Kong Chamber Orchestra. In 2005, the Choir performed Haydn's Little Organ Mass with the Hong Kong Sinfonietta before the Chief Executive, Donald Tsang.
Ken Lam has been Artistic Director of the Choir since 2001.
