Community Services
Echoing the spirit of Ms. Fong Yim-fun to serve the needy, the College has co-organized visits to outside organisations, with the participation of students, volunteers and friends of the College. Besides bringing happiness to the people we served, the visits also promote Cantonese opera.
Services are usually organized near Chinese traditional festivals, e.g. Mid-Autumn Festival, Chinese New Year.
Public Lectures
Since the Project was established, a series of public lectures on Fong’s singing style and Cantonese opera inheritance were held. Cantonese opera researchers, veteran Cantonese opera musicians and performers, and artists who had performed with Ms. Fong, etc., were invited to share. Besides analyzing and sharing on various topics of Cantonese opera, the lectures also explored ways to sustain Cantonese opera.
