On November 22, 2012, a concert took place at the Students’ Activity Centre in Wah Yan Kowloon at 1:00 p.m. The Centre, with 100 seats, was filled to capacity on
that occasion. The performers featured were a violinist, Dr. Chun Chim (David) Leung, Associate Professor of Violin at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota and Music Department Director of Saint Mary’s Chamber Orchestra, and a pianist, Dr. Ned Kirk, who performed and held master classes in many parts of the world, now serving as Artistic and Managing Director of the Minnesota Beethoven Festival.
The concert was also the occasion on which some alumni of the Class of ’61, members of the self-formed Classical Music Lovers Association from 1957 to about 1966, presented a cheque of HK$ 52,000 to the school to set up a CLA Fund for three years dedicated to the purpose of further promoting classical music in the school.
