Hong Kong Performers Winds
Hong Kong Performers Winds (HKPW) (Chinese: 香港演奏家管樂團) is a non-profit organisation established in September 2005, aiming to promote wind band music, at the same time providing opportunities for musicians to widen their interests and knowledge in music. Apart from the regular band concerts, HKPW is also promoted symphonic band music through various performances and musical exchanges. To support art development and independent artists, HKPW organises recitals for independent artists since 2010. This new move of HKPW aims to help artists to gain performing experience and to introduce solo and ensemble music of wind instruments to the public via recitals. Beside, HKPW also gathers wind instrument players and provides opportunities to exchange and share experience and expertise.
HKPW moves to a new studio in San Po Kong in October 2011. This much bigger studio locates at Prince Industrial Building, 706 Prince Edward Road, San Po Kong, Kowloon. Hiring out for rehearsal and function is welcomed.
