Special Announcement
“Bringing Hope Home Concert” 2020
22nd November, 2020 (Sun) at 7:30pm
 
In the light of the latest development of Covid-19 pandemic and the advice of the Government to minimize unnecessary social activities and gatherings, and taking into consideration the safety of performers and audiences, as well as the staff and volunteers, CIFA, being a responsible organization, does not endorse large scale indoor congregation under the current pandemic situation. Thus CIFA will NOT participate in the “Bringing Hope Home Concert” 2020 to be performed by the SAR Philharmonic on 22nd November, 2020 (Sunday) at 7:30pm at the Concert Hall of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. That being the case, there will be no Opening Ceremony and no representative from CIFA will be present at the event.
For our supporters who would still like to attend the concert, you are strongly advised to take extra precautionary measures to protect yourself.
You may like to note that an E-program brochure has been produced to provide details of the concert and giving acknowledgement to our sponsors and donors. You can access the brochure at the QR Code provided by us.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused! We hope that you will appreciate that it is a very difficult decision to make, yet warranted under the latest pandemic situation in Hong Kong.
Should there be any queries, please feel free to contact Mr. Li of the CIFA Secretariat at 9136 3017.
