The Philharmonia consists of 3 orchestras of different levels and led by artists around the world including Wu Chung Fan(Artistic Director), Stanley Yeung, Lam To Shing, Lo Chi Pang and Samuel Lau. Members consist of musicians of different levels. More than 100 passionate young musicians build up their styles and techniques to share music around the world. We believe that music can serve the community as well as education. The orchestra has collaborated with different charity societies and communities.

The Philharmonia was invited to perform in different occasions such as E-max and Lai Yuen Super Summer 2015. In 2014, the Philharmonia performed with famous beatboxers, Sting and Joe, to bring the audience a new classical music experience. The performance was a great success!
