‘Shine On’ Fundraising Gala 2023 ▎A feast of inclusive performances
ADAHK’s flagship ‘Shine On’ Fundraising Gala 2023 ended on a high note on 30 January (Monday) at 7:30 pm at the Concert Hall, Hong Kong Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui. The Association was honored to have invited Mrs. Janet Lee, wife of the Chief Executive, and Mr Kevin Yeung Yun-hung, GBS, JP, Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, as the officiating guests.
Over 10 outstanding artists with disabilities joined hands with our dear supporters and professional artists to showcase a series of spectacular performances, demonstrating the beauty of inclusion under the canopy of the arts. The programmes had been carefully planned to bring to the audience a feast for both the eyes and ears and to reflect ADAHK’s steadfast commitment to nurturing artists with disabilities from different backgrounds and disciplines. We also integrated Arts Accessibility elements into the show so that audience members with different sensory needs could enjoy the splendid evening. This star-studded and phenomenal Fundraising Gala started with a melodious music performance, followed by energetic performances such as hip-hop and wheelchair dancing, and ended with a singing performance.
