The concert was performed jointly by HKCO4U (consisting of young concert performers from Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra) and SIU2 (a Hong Kong cutting-edge band).

The FOH engineer concluded:  “I have used Allen & Heath digital mixing system for lots of shows before. iLive is very straight forward to set up and ease of use, and it features high flexibility and excellent reliability. In addition, the sound quality of the system is second to none. These are the reasons why I select it for this event.””
