Funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust in 2019-2022, the Company organized a three-year elderly A Cappella choral and life enrichment project: “Jockey Club Yat Po 'Happy A-ge-Cappella'”, which motivated the elders by cultivating their talent, strengthening their self-confidence and bonding with people through the A Cappella training programmes and activities.
In 2023-2026, the Company will begin a new chapter of “Jockey Club Yat Po 'Happy A-ge-Cappella'”, and continues to bring positivity to the society through A Cappella music.
