Hundreds of satisfied faces walked out from the SMA concerts started from the first Hong Kong - Vienna Music Festival in 2016. As one of the most loved programme of the Festival, with joint fires of our international teaching team, the SMA offer students authentic borderless choral music experience during their summer time. Acquiring individual vocal techniques through synergetic ensemble singing, students can cooperate with their peers to deliver an art form and to express themselves artistically. The SMA is a fun ‘music gym’ heightening the students’ growth in music. Students will have a rare opportunity to experience music compositions under the guidance of eminent musicians. Students will perform at the community concert at the end to celebrate their achievement in music learning.*

In 2001, Gerald Wirth became the artistic director of the Vienna Boys Choir. While he is keenly aware of the choir’s rich tradition, Wirth also explores new ways to create and make music. He has instigated a number of projects involving world music, a cappella pop and film music. Wirth’s first love is the voice; as is evident from his own compositions: his works include children’s operas, oratorios,  theatre  projects, music especially written for festivals and countless arrangements for choirs. Wirth  is convinced that intensive engagement in music has a positive impact on every realm of the personality, and motivates his students to utilise their potential.
