香港中文大學合唱團
The Chinese University of Hong Kong Chorus
香港中文大學合唱團於1972年12月由一班愛好合唱音樂的中大學生自發成立。歷經三十多年的光輝歲月，中大合唱團已從一隊為大專比賽而組成的學生社團，轉變成追求卓越，致力向大眾分享優質合唱演出的表演團體。
近年，合唱團多次接受傳媒報道。《經濟日報》、《信報》、《明報》、香港電台等傳媒也對合唱團的周年音樂會作專題介紹。樂評人李歐梵、周凡夫等也曾在其專欄或電台節目對合唱團演出致予好評。2009年，合唱團演唱著名電影《舒特拉的名單》選曲的錄影，透過YouTube而大受全球猶太人歡迎，更因此吸引以色列最大報章《新消息報》報道。
合唱團每年演出包括擔任客席嘉賓，以及主辦周年音樂會等。合唱團2006年應邀到第20屆澳門國際音樂節演出，作首次國際性音樂節亮相。近年合唱團屢獲邀請到其他學府作交流，曾到上海師範大學、彰化大葉大學及台北市立復興高級中學進行示範講座，介紹香港合唱創作發展，深受當地學生歡迎。
節目創新且多元化，讓合唱團一直走在香港合唱界最前端。合唱團選曲以帶給觀眾精彩動聽樂曲為主，不拘泥於風格與難度。演唱過的曲目範圍由貝多芬與馬勒的交響曲到James Blunt與鮑比達的流行曲不等。合唱團多次為新作香港首演以至世界首演，包括松下耕《若言》胡銘堯、《九肚山下》、蘇梓安《戀之花》及楊嘉輝《他說》等。
The Chinese University of Hong Kong Chorus was founded in December 1972 by a group of CUHK students who loved singing. In these thirty-odd years, CU Chorus has evolved from a student group united for joint-university competition, into an organization dedicated to pursuing excellence and bringing quality choral performances to local audience.
CU Chorus has received multiple media coverage in recent years. The chorus's annual concerts had featured in Hong Kong Economic Times, Hong Kong Economic Journal, Ming Pao, and Radio Television Hong Kong. Music critics such as Leo Lee Ou-fan and Zhou Fanfu had also given favourable comments on CU Chorus's performances in their column or radio programme. In 2009, the video recording of CU Chorus performing selections from the soundtrack of the famous film "Schindlers List" had become popular among Jewish people all over the world through YouTube; the incident was even reported in the largest Israeli newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth.
CU Chorus has participated in various guest performances in addition to CU Chorus annual concerts. In 2006, the chorus was invited to perform in the 20th Macau International Music Festival, its debut in an international music festival. In recent years CU Chorus was invited to many institutes for exchange activities. The chorus had given demonstrative talks on the development of Hong Kong choral music in the exchange activities with Shanghai Normal University, Changhua Da-Yeh University, and Taipei Fuhsing Private School, inspiring great interest in local students.
The innovative and diverse programme has lent CU Chorus an edge among other Hong Kong choral groups. The chorus bases its repertoire on appealing and remarkable songs, regardless of the style or performing difficulty. Songs that CU Chorus has performed range from Beethoven's and Mahler's symphonies to pop songs by James Blunt and Chris Babida. The chorus also perform many new pieces, sometimes as their Hong Kong premiere or even world premiere; such pieces include Kotoba ni Sureba by Matsushita Ko, Below the Kau To Shan by Dennis Wu, The Flower of Love by Andy So, and When He Said by Samson Young.
