一年一度香港無伴奏合唱比賽又來了！ 今年我們很榮幸能夠邀請到朱元雷先生(台灣合唱音樂中心創辦人及爵士流行藝術總監), 馮國東先生(港澳當代無伴奏合唱協會會長)及伍卓賢先生(著名音樂創作人及無伴奏合唱藝術家)擔任評判。三位都是海外及本地無伴奏合唱界的知名人士，相信必定能夠給予參賽者新的啟發。

一如往年，比賽設有公開組(人聲樂團)及中學組(合唱小組)，而今年公開組的小組人數上限更增至10人。愛好無伴奏合唱又喜歡挑戰自己的你, 馬上報名參加吧！參賽隊伍更有機會被邀請在聖誕無伴奏合唱馬拉松演出呢！

其他比賽詳情，包括指定歌曲樂譜及報名表格均已上載至官方網站：

去年Noteworthy來香港表演, 今年其中兩位Amy和Laina上了美國無伴奏合唱比賽 The Sing Off, 她們真是很厲害喔!
To wrap up this post, here's a wonderful clip from NBC's The Sing Off, featuring two singers that came to Hong Kong as part of Noteworthy last year, Amy Whitcomb (on lead vocal) and Laina Walker.
