About the Group
Founded in 1998 by Chin Kwok-wai, the Hong Kong Drum Ensemble is actively involved in philanthropic initiatives and regularly hosts drum music concerts. The group frequently participates in large-scale celebratory events. In 2017, they received invitations from the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London and the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Tokyo to tour 11 cities across 7 European countries, showcasing their talents. They performed at the 20th-anniversary celebration of Hong Kong's return to China in Tokyo. The same year, they were invited by the Home Affairs Bureau to perform at the opening ceremony of the 6th Hong Kong Games. They collaborated with the Sha Tin Culture and Arts Promotion Committee to curate and perform in the Music Festival. Their 20th-anniversary concert received widespread acclaim in 2018. In 2019, they partnered with Hugo Records to release their third critically acclaimed album.
Programmes conducted in Cantonese.
