Kick-off Ceremony of 150th Anniversary of HKZBG cum Evening Musical Performance

This year is the 150th anniversary of the HKZBG. Having served the public for one and a half centuries, the HKZBG carries the collective memories of Hong Kong people. Let us walk into the HKZBG together and celebrate its contribution to Hong Kong amidst the music performances by String Orchestra, Chinese Orchestra, Saxophone Ensemble and Youth Choir of the Music Office, as well as singing performances by STARS Academy Graduates and sand painting art performance. Taking this opportunity, we will also display the new image of the HKZBG under the new brand theme of “Urban Forest Living as One” (市中森 自然共生) during the musical performance.
