Participants include everyone from kids in primary and secondary school to 98-year-old seniors, rehabilitated youth, and ethnic minorities. This year’s Drum Carnival not only continued this mission but also introduced innovative dance elements, highlighting Hong Kong’s unique role as a platform for cultural exchange. We also invited many consulates in Hong Kong to participate, adding an international flair to the event. Looking ahead, the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra will remain dedicated to its roots in Hong Kong, presenting diverse performances to enrich the city’s cultural landscape and foster the development of the arts.”
Sylvia Chung, Chief Business Impact Officer of Chinachem Group, noted that Chinachem Group is committed to fostering arts and culture, and strongly believes in the power of the arts to enrich our quality of life. “We have been honoured to collaborate once again with the world-class Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra to present the ‘One Beat, One World, Connecting Through the Drum’ series, which has connected people from all walks of life over the past six months,” she said. “In addition to drumming workshops across all 18 districts, a variety of drumming activities at Central Market and Nina Mall will be offered, such as Tai Chi wellness sessions and percussion workshops for everyone to enjoy.”
Cultural and Community Highlights
Supported by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, the event inspired audiences both on-site and online with the unifying energy of drumming. It also featured premieres of videos filmed at iconic locations across Hong Kong, promoting cultural tourism and showcasing the city’s unique heritage.
The Carnival began at noon, offering a variety of interactive cultural experiences from consulates representing countries such as Japan, India, Hungary, Poland, Egypt, Vietnam, the Philippines and South Korea. Visitors enjoyed international cuisines and experiences, underscoring Hong Kong’s role as a global cultural crossroads. Participants also had the opportunity to feel the beat of the ultimate 3.47-metre-tall Peace Drum.
The programme included performances by some of China’s intangible cultural heritage drum troupes, including Shaanxi Hancheng Xinggu and Lanzhou Taiping Drum, alongside a local lion dance team. The performers paraded through the park’s lawn, mingling closely with the audience. Teams from Chinachem Group, Immigration Department, A.S. Watson Group, and the “Strive and Rise” Programme also showcased their drumming talents. The Carnival also offered family-friendly drumming activities and various games, making it a memorable Sunday for all attendees.

Alongside performances by the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra conducted by Chew Hee-chiat, Assistant Artistic Director and Resident Conductor, the concert featured dynamic displays of local and Japanese tap dancers, Korean drum dancers, Malaysian drum theatre, Xinjiang hand drumming and dance, and Indian tabla and dance performances. Chinese hand drums were distributed to the audience, amplifying the rhythm and elevating the atmosphere to its peak.
The concert was supported by 3 Hong Kong as its strategic partner. This year, the network has been upgraded to 5.5G, providing speeds 10 times faster than 5G with ultra-low latency in milliseconds.
