THE COMPETITION SEMI FINALS CONTINUE UNDER A NEW SCHEDULE |
The Chopin Society of Hong Kong Ltd, the organiser of the Competition/Festival has been and is continuously aware of the difficult times Hong Kong is passing through. Therefore in order to ensure: |

• |
The comfortable, unstressful and unhurried environment for the candidates, members of the jury and, of course, our Hong Kong audience to enjoy and share the wonderful music-making we had so far, |
• |
The maximum accessibility to the Hong Kong City Hall Concert Hall, where all the semi finals are taking place, at the time that there is considerable disruption in the MTR and in some bus services |
