Making classical music accessible to all is central to our mission of presenting world-class concerts and educational programmes to music lovers and students in Hong Kong. As one of the few organisations in the city that specialises in chamber music, we are proud to be building a vibrant local arts scene and nurturing young audiences with our wide range of Outreach & Education Programmes.

Chamber Music in Schools

Premiere Performance’s flagship Chamber Music in Schools Programme (CMIS) is committed to encouraging a love of music – both for listening and playing. Launched in 2012, in partnership with Musica Viva Australia (MVA) – one of the world’s leading presenters of chamber music education programmes – we present interactive concerts suitable for all types of schools, including kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, as well as special educational needs schools. Since 2016, we have also successively invited and formed four local ensembles, including Viva! Pipers, Fiesta Brass, Romer String Quartet, and Rhythmaker.

To date, the CMIS Programme has reached over 140,000 students from more than 550 schools across Hong Kong with over 660 performances!

Beyond the Performances

“Beyond the Performances” consists of an interesting and enlightening mix of talks, open rehearsals, masterclasses and coaching sessions which are part of Premiere Performances’s annual Beare’s Premiere Music Festival. Hosted by local and international musicians and educators, these free events are specially designed to enhance the audience’s understanding of the music performed at festival concerts.

Free Concerts

We organise free concerts in public venues across Hong Kong, allowing the people of Hong Kong to enjoy chamber music up-close in relaxed atmospheres.
