Youth Art Activities

New World Group has been determined to broaden young people's artistic vision, inspiring them the creative appreciation of contemporary art. From 2009 onwards, the Group fully supports the Asian Youth Orchestra ("AYO") for its performances in Hong Kong, providing young musicians the opportunities for music exchange and performance, as well as making friends who are music-holic. The Group's contribution to AYO helps strengthening the development of orchestra and enriching arts training among youth.

Meanwhile, the Group also supports the Eastern District Arts Council and Music for Our Young Foundation to organize the "Eastern District Youth Chinese Orchestra", arranging instrument classes for the primary and secondary students aged 16 or below living in the district. In 2011, the Group established "New World Award for MOY students" and presented medals to students with outstanding performance.
