The Belilios Old Girls’ Association (BOGA) Choir was born in 1990, when BPS celebrated its 100th Anniversary. Conducted by our alumnus Ms Vanessa Li, the 50 plus members made their debut in the BPS Anniversary Concert held on 9 December 1990 at Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
In 2000, by the time of BPS 110th Anniversary, the Choir was honoured to have their beloved music teacher, Mrs. Jennie Leung, as their conductor. Since then, with the leadership of Mrs. Leung, the Choir performed in the BPS 110th, 115th and 120th Anniversary Concerts.
With the retirement of Mrs Leung in 2012, the conductor role of the Choir was taken up by our old girls. We are very grateful to have Ms Leung Siu Kum and Ms Yvonne Lau Yin Wun to lead the Choir in the BPS 125th Anniversary Concert and all different performances and practices.
Furthermore, the Choir fully supported BPS, BOGA and BOGF through performances in various events such as BOGA AGM Dinners, BPS Open Days, BPS Home Coming Days, BPS Anniversary Dinners, Parents-Teachers’ Association gatherings and various fund-raising performances for BPS. The Choir also particpated in Concert held by the Belilios Winds, as part of the BOGA big family from March 2018. The Choir was invited to perform by outside parties such as the Helena May, the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra and the Central and Western District Association for Culture and Arts. The Choir also contributed to the community by holding charity concerts for various organizations such as Child Development Matching Fund, Fu Hong Society, Society for Community Organization, and homes for the elderly.
To prepare for the performances in the forthcoming concert and event, the BOGA Choir members, with age ranging from 20s to 60s, meet regularly at BPS Music Room for practices. If you are a music lover and want to sing in a choir, please do not hestitate to join us and share our joy and fun together! |
