St. Paul’s Co-educational College Senior Mixed-Voice Choir

Founded in 1949, the Senior Mixed-Voice Choir stands as one of the oldest school teams in the history of St. Paul’s Co-educational College and has been the flagship musical group for over seven decades. 

Aside from the many accolades in the annual Hong Kong Schools Music Festival, the Choir has appeared in many prominent public performances, from the Olympic Torch Ceremony in 1964 to several public farewell ceremonies for former governors, and from the opening of the inaugural Hong Kong Arts Festival in 1973 to the flag-raising ceremonies on National Day and Handover anniversaries.

The acclaimed performing tour to Bangkok, Thailand in 1979 marked the beginning of the Choir’s international success. Its artistry has since taken the choristers to concert stages of all sizes from Australia to Germany, from China to the United States, and from Austria to Sweden, appearing in festivals and prominent occasions such as the World Choir Games, Europa Cantat and Yale School of Music Norfolk Chamber Music Festival. The Choir has also benefited from its collaboration with groups including the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. They were invited by the Secretariat of the All-China Youth Federation to perform in a joint-concert with other national choirs at Beijing in 2025. 

The Senior Mixed-Voice Choir recently achieved remarkable success at the 14^th World Choir Games in Helsingborg, Sweden, winning two championships in Category C10 (Sacred Choral Music a cappella) and Category C13 (Contemporary Music), with one of their performances earning the highest score across all categories.
