Voices of the Valley and the Hong Kong Oratorio Society jointly present “A Musical Journey”, in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. This event is sponsored by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in San Francisco to promote cultural exchange between Hong Kong and the U.S.

Voices of the Valley (VoV) was founded in November 1997, and made its debut performance at the San Francisco Asian Art Museum three months later. Under the music direction of Stephanie Chan, the regularly performing group delivers to the audience well-known choral favorites, and challenges them with rare and delightful works from baroque to contemporary with an international flair.

Many of VoV’s singers are Silicon Valley high-tech professionals who are passionate about choral music. VoV’s repertoire includes a vast selection of works from different genres, cultures and musical periods, specializing in staged choral works and modern music. To name a few: Scarlatti’s Te Deum Laudamus, Mozart’s Requiem, Schubert’s Rosamunde, Faure’s Requiem, Johann Strauss Jr’s Die Fledermaus, Gilbert and Sullivan’s operettas, Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Oratorio, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera and Sunset Boulevard, Huang Zi’s Song of Eternal Lament, Huang YauTai’s Mulan Joins the Army, Hsu Tsang-Houei’s The Legend of the White Snake and Chen Yi’s Chinese Poems.
