Every life deserves a song of their own. With this belief, singer-songwriter Vicky Fung and lyricist Chow Yu Fai launched the social enterprise "Every Life Is A Song" (“ELIAS”) to make songs about the lives of different communities, hoping that eventually the songs will accumulate into a catalogue charting the history of our city.
This first project, co-presented by "ELIAS" and TAI KWUN, aims to offer an opportunity for younger generations to experience an organic approach to making music while revisiting the values behind Tai Kwun’s revitalisation. To this end, 36 participants passionate about music, words, and visual arts were recruited to step into the city to explore the stories of our community and to make songs about them.
The end results feature the stories of ten seniors, whose “songs” can be heard through sound installations in an exhibition held at Tai Kwun, which will be followed by a live concert performed by all singer-song writers and mentees to be held November. All are welcome to join.
