Mosaic (HK)
Posted on April 7, 2016 at 2:47 pm
Mosaic is an A Cappella group based in The University of Hong Kong (HKU), formed by students from different faculties and backgrounds. The name “Mosaic” resembles a picture made up of colored pieces of diversity; it was chosen to capture the very nature of the group – coming from different backgrounds, Mosaician brings our individual uniqueness into harmonized pieces of alive and spirited music.
Established in July 2006, Mosaic is the first collegiate A Cappella group in HK to organise large-scale concerts and has been very active in the Hong Kong choral scene, staging numerous performances both on and off campus. Mosaic held its first charity concert at HKU in December 2007. Since 2009, Mosaic has been holding full-house concerts every year for various charitable organisations, receiving overwhelming appreciation and recognition. Ever since the inception of the Hong Kong and Macau College A Cappella Competition in 2012, Mosaic has also been an active participant of the annual event for collegiate groups in the region, winning the competition three times in 2012, 2013 and 2015.
Outside Hong Kong, Mosaic made its debut international performance in the 2008 International Contemporary A Cappella Festival in Taipei, and was again invited to join the Festival in 2009. In March 2009, Mosaic was invited to perform in the Macau A Cappella Festival hosted by Macau University. In 2010, Mosaic was invited by Hong Kong Trade Development Council to perform in Shanghai, and in the same year, Mosaic participated in Singapore International A Cappella Championship and won the Silver Award. Mosaic also got first runner up in the same competition the summer after. In addition, Mosaic won the Championship at the Asia A Cappella Festival Collegiate A Cappella Competition Champion for two consecutive years (2012 and 2013). Mosaic was also invited to the Vocal Asia Festival Shanghai in 2015, where we were honoured to meet world renowned group Naturally 7, on top of many other groups of all musical genres and styles from all over Asia. These achievements have become a great form of encouragement to all members.
Mosaic is dedicated to promoting A Cappella music in Hong Kong, hence often appearing on TV, radio, shopping malls and other major events.
