The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is pleased to invite the Keble College Choir of the University of Oxford to present a Lunchtime Music Concert at the Sir Run Run Shaw Hall, CUHK on Monday, 20 March 2017. Participated by close to 150 staff and students of CUHK, the concert features choral pieces from the European tradition including Missa O quam gloriosum by Tomás Luis de Victoria and motets from Thomas Tallis and Francis Poulenc.

After the concert, Professor Joseph Sung, Vice-Chancellor and President of CUHK, hosted a luncheon for the delegation from Keble College at the Vice-Chancellor’s Lodge. The luncheon was graced by the presence of Sir Johnathan Phillips, Warden of Keble College, Ms Jenny Tudge, Director of Development of Keble College, Mr Matthew Martins, Director of Music of Keble College, as well as members of the Keble College Choir.

This concert is a highlight of the “East Meets West Music Reciprocal Tour” jointly organized by CUHK and the University of Oxford, and generously supported by the E & R Foundation and the GS Charity Foundation. In February this year, the CU Chinese Music Ensemble of the Department of Music of CUHK was invited to present classical Chinese music pieces at the University of Oxford and the British Museum.
