Activities and Events

Let me congratulate you and the alumni on organizing the very successful 2nd Law Alumni Choir Concert on 5 November 2011. I thoroughly enjoyed the evening and noticed that this sentiment was shared by many friends who joined the concert that evening.

I fully appreciate how much work is involved in organizing such a concert, particularly when all of our alumni members have to set aside time for choir practice, and am thus particularly grateful to all the members of the choir and the organizing committee. It is unfortunate that I cannot join the celebration dinner on 26 November to share the joy and pride of the members, but please pass on my appreciation and thanks to all the choir members, and in particular, the conductors Mr Raymond Cheng and Mr Jeffrey Sham and the master of ceremony Edwin Choi, whose lively performance made the whole evening especially enjoyable, as well as all the members of the organizing committee.

We are planning to move to the new building in the early summer of 2012, and are thinking of organizing a celebrating event, maybe around the first week of December 2012. It would be a milestone in the development of the law school to have our own building again after its initial home at Caine Road in 1969-1973, and it would be most appropriate if the Law Alumni Choir could do another performance at that time to share the pride of the law school. I hope this would not pose too much a burden on our alumni, and do look forward to this 3rd concert. I would of course be pleased to leave the details in your able hand, and do let me know if there is anything I can help.

Best regards,
Johannes

Message from Professor Michael Wilkinson, The Public Orator

Dear Kenneth,

The Alumni Christmas Concert was brilliant. I really enjoyed it. Indeed the rendition of “Memories” brought tears to my eyes (not because of the singing!). The soloists were also superb and moving. And lovely to have current students playing their part. A wonderful evening which was especially happy for me in seeing so many “old” friends again. I very much hope there will be many more to follow.

Best wishes,
Michael

Message from Professor Johannes Chan SC, Dean of Faculty of Law

Dear Kenneth,

Many congratulations on the success of the inaugural concert of the Law Alumni Choir on 4 December. I was on my way back from Sydney after attending the first HKU-UNSW Research Symposium that night, but I know what I have missed – an enjoyable concert and a lovely evening, as I have heard from my colleagues and friends.

The idea of having a choir in which law graduates of different years and current students can get together and share their common love in music was brilliant. Yet what was even more amazing is to have busy practitioners to practise the pieces in a couple of months. May I congratulate and thank you and your Exco members, conductors and other choir members who have made this possible and successful.

I very much hope there will be many more to follow and ultimately, the choir could perform at the opening of the law building and moot court in 2012. Nothing could be more exciting than having generations of law graduates singing Law Anthem in our own Moot Court.

Best regards,
Johannes
