Choruses in Hong Kong

Although there are no professional choirs in Hong Kong, many amateur choral groups are active in the city throughout the year. Many choirs in Hong Kong have been established by educational institutions (such as universities or secondary schools), religious organizations, or performing arts groups; other choirs have been initiated by vocal instructors, choral conductors, or simply groups of friends who love choral singing.

The Hong Kong Schools Music Festival, an annual inter-school music competition, is (arguably) a major driving force in the establishment and development of the school-based choirs. Some of these choirs have proceeded to win in international choral competitions (such as the World Choir Games).

In 2005, the World Children's Choir Festival was held in Hong Kong, which brought together many distinguished choirs from around the world. In 2006, the first Hong Kong International Youth & Children's Choir Festival was held with the hope of becoming a biennial event.

There is an active chorus performance scene in Hong Kong. Each month, there can be as many as 5 or 10 choral performances taking place in concert halls, civic centers, colleges, schools, churches, and even clubs and bars by singing groups large and small, formal and casual, with full accompaniment or just a capella.

In December 2007, members from several choral groups set up a Facebook Group "Choirs and Singers in Hong Kong" to list and share the schedules and details of current concerts by all choruses and singers in Hong Kong.

The following are lists of choirs in Hong Kong (in alphabetical order):
