Events & Programs
IN HARMONY
Music, education and heritage arts work together in harmony.
After a fantastic Le French May concert featuring the extraordinary pianist Sa Chen and the Diotima Quartet, guests of First Initiative Foundation (FIF) joined together for a beautiful fundraising dinner, sponsored by Vacheron Constantin.
Michelin-starred Chef Nicolas Masse presented an incredible dinner honed to perfection with the help of the team at the Grand Hyatt.
Musical interludes from the Cantonese Youth Opera Group and Lang Lang’s Young Scholars delighted all, and the young performers worked together in harmony to show how our initiatives extend to the community of Hong Kong.
SA CHEN AND THE DIOTIMA QUARTET
FIF brings a spectacular chamber music concert to Hong Kong!
Sa Chen, an outstanding young Chinese pianist with an incredible worldwide following, took to the stage for an evening with the Diotima Quartet. The French ensemble is one of the most sought after, and together with Sa Chen, the concert was a wonderful opportunity for First Initiative Foundation (FIF)’s community outreach in Hong Kong.
FIF was very happy to sponsor this event in partnership with Le French May, and we also presented a Sa Chen Masterclass to benefit local music scholars.
SA CHEN MASTERCLASS
Sa Chen, a remarkable young pianist described as "one of the ‘brightest performers of her generation", guided students through pieces by Chopin and Brahms in a piano masterclass.
It was a delight to see the students enjoying insights and getting instructions from this award-winning pianist. This educational initiative truly benefited our deserving music students.
First Initiative Foundation (FIF) was pleased to support this event in cooperation with Le French May, the Hong Kong Education Bureau and Hong Kong Polytechnic University, as we were able to bring another meaningful educational opportunity to our students. Sa Chen also performed at an extraordinary FIF-sponsored concert with the
Diotima Quartet.
