Introduction

In these years, attending live Classical Music events can never be taken for granted. Previous social unrest in and impact of COVID-19 prompted the Classical Music field in Hong Kong to think about its future.

As live gatherings may not be easy, Classical Music events have been going online, whether in the form of concerts, workshops, lessons, discussions etc.

How is this working out in Hong Kong? How does the field pursue virtual form and will it be sustainable in terms of Classical Music development in Hong Kong? Eventually, will the online phenomena finally mingle back with live events?
