Connecting young people through classical music

The Greater Bay Area Youth Orchestra (“GBAYO”) made its debut in August, launching a four-city tour of the region. The GBAYO was established and is directed by The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (“HKAPA”), with the support of the Swire Group as Founding Patron. The GBAYO aims to connect talented young musicians from diverse backgrounds, enabling them to pursue their dreams together, while elevating the standard of classical music in the region. The orchestra’s inaugural performance at HKAPA’s Hong Kong Jockey Club Amphitheatre was followed by concerts at the Macau Tower, the Shenzhen Grand Theatre, and the Guangzhou Xinghai Concert Hall.
