The SAR Philharmonic Orchestra
The SAR Philharmonic has a simple goal: Helping to lessen suffering through Sweet And Romantic music. This is mostly carried out by presenting concerts for fund raising by other charitable organizations.
The SAR Philharmonic is the musical arm of SAR PHILHARMONIC CHARITABLE FOUNDATION, a Hong Kong Government registered Charitable Foundation. The orchestra performs several concerts a year and since the first concert in 1999 over $30 million have been raised for local charities.
Orchestra members are dedicated volunteers who give their services freely - thus maximizing the financial benefits for the recipient charity. The orchestra boasts over 100 members and presents ambitious programs for full symphony orchestra.
