During the epidemic, live shows and concerts are cancelled, jobs for artists and producers are suspended. To provide a platform for live performance practitioners, the Foundation and the Hong Kong Live Performance and Production Industry Association (HKLPPIA) co-hosted the online music show series #STAYTUNED+, which had successfully concluded in the end of December 2020. A total of 16 episodes were aired over a period of three months. The series was also featured on TV and online channels by other media including RTHK, Hong Kong Open TV and overseas TV channels, etc. Their professional performances were well received by the audience. Over 180,000 views were recorded on the social media platforms of our Foundation and HKKLPPIA and reached out to over 600,000 people.
The series delivers the positive message of 'going beyond challenges and chasing your dreams'.Classic songs, new songs and originals were performed and some musical talents even played and sang along in the shows. One of the episodes was even staged in Macao and performed by local artists.
This initiative by the Foundation was able to provide young artists and production crews to showcase their talents during the pandemic. Nearly 400 jobs were created for young people in the industry.
