Making Music

Welcome to the Peiyang Chorus website!

A population of 10 million, and 24,000 hand-picked students at one of the oldest universities in China. Since our inception in 1985 the choir has united the voices of rising stars in science, business and law. Performing both symphonic concerts and televised extracts from operetta, we have become one of China's most prestigious vocal ensembles.

Last summer(Jul 2008) we gained international recognition in winning a host of prizes at the Young Choirs Festival in Hong Kong. At ease with all repertoires, particularly with the best of contemporary choral works, we not only excel in interpreting Chinese and Asian music, but have also performed nearly one thousand choral compositions of Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern and Contemporary genres.
