Premiere Performances brings the best classical musicians in the world to Hong Kong for recitals and chamber music concerts and outreach, building a vibrant local arts scene and inspiring audiences with live music performances that are accessible to all. Premiere Performances presents four outstanding programs each year: - The annual Beare's Premiere Music Festival (formerly named the Hong Kong International Chamber Music Festival), a world class 10-day festival bringing together the best artists in the world for two weeks of concerts and outreach and over 5,000+ audience members - A year round Recital Series, the best recital series in the region comprising of concerts throughout the year by the world’s top artists and emerging stars - A Family Concert Series, a series of concerts throughout the year specially designed to inspire kids aged 5-11 and their families - An extensive Outreach & Education Program that includes Chamber Music In Schools, An outreach program that brings specially trained music ensembles into local schools for performances and professional development for teachers. We want to inspire those who play to pick up their instruments and play with joy and love, and those who listen to have a concert experience like no other. We want to enliven the imagination and on occasion challenge Hong Kong audiences through extraordinary performances. Premiere Performances was founded in 2007 and is a registered charity. We are financially supported by the Art Development Matching Grants Pilot Scheme of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Only about 15-20% of Premiere Performances’ costs are covered by ticket sales so we rely on the generous contributions of Premiere Performances' patrons and sponsors.
