Hong Kong–Fukuoka Music Friendship Exchange Project 2026
The Hong Kong Joint School Music Association is organizing the "2026 Hong Kong–Fukuoka Music Exchange Programme" for the summer of 2026. We cordially invite wind and string students, young musicians, and music enthusiasts to join us in Fukuoka, Japan. Participants will broaden their international musical horizons through music exchanges, joint rehearsals, performances, and cultural experiences.
In addition to the four-day music exchange program in Fukuoka, the initiative includes four local rehearsal sessions in Hong Kong to ensure participants are well-prepared for the ensemble performances prior to departure.
