1️⃣ day left til La Salle Old Boys’ Concert 2026!

This year, to make the Silver Jubilee of our orchestras a bit more special, we will be taking a trip down memory lane - through uncovering the history of the school song.

Although widely known among Lasallians, our school song’s origins had long been a mystery until recent discoveries made through the research of various Old Boys. Through the provision of various recordings provided by Mark Huang (Class of 1985), a revived arrangement of the school song has been masterfully orchestrated by our very own choir conductor Victor Li (Class of 2017)! Here are some insights provided by Victor on how our beloved school song came to be.

We cordially invite you to be a part of this special occasion as we give this arrangement of the school song a 21st century premiere!

Celebrating 25 Years of the La Salle College Wind Orchestra and Symphony Orchestra! 🎶

To mark this special Silver Jubilee of our school orchestras, we will be featuring 25 of our homegrown Lasallian musicians, sharing their journeys and some of their most cherished memories of making music at our alma mater.

But before we continue, let us turn the spotlight towards the conductor who has been here since the very beginning…

What began with a new ensemble in 2001 became a musical legacy spanning generations. He has been there from the very first note. Featuring our dearest Founding Conductor of the LSCWO, Ngai sir!

NGAI Lung Shing, Kelvin
Founding Conductor, La Salle College Wind Orchestra
Conductor, Old Boys’ Symphony Orchestra

1. You have been with the LSCWO since its founding in 2001. Looking back over the past 25 years, what does the orchestra — and the wider Lasallian music community — mean to you?
To me, the LSCWO represents a home of brotherhood and shared passion. Over the past 25 years, it has grown far beyond an ensemble - it is a living tradition where older boys mentor the younger ones, united by a standard of musical excellence and sportsmanship. Seeing generations of Lasallians pass through this community, supporting each other on and off the stage, has been one of the most fulfilling journeys of my life.

2. Is there a particular performance, piece of music or moment from the past 25 years that remains especially meaningful to you? Why?
Honestly, there have been so many touching moments. Um.... one moment that stands out was our first major competition victory after years of building the ensemble’s foundational sound. The sheer focus during the performance and the raw emotion backstage afterwards made it unforgettable. Performing the Rite of Spring again at this Old Boys’ concert is deeply special, as it was our most unforgettable and successful competition piece back then.

To see Ngai sir in action with our Old Boys’ Symphony Orchestra, along with guest musicians from Diocesan Alumnae Orchestra, there’s 2 days left to grab your tickets for our Old Boys’ Concert!

Celebrating 25 Years of the La Salle College Wind Orchestra and Symphony Orchestra! 🎶

To mark this special Silver Jubilee of our school orchestras, we will be featuring 25 of our homegrown Lasallian musicians, sharing their journeys and some of their most cherished memories of making music at our alma mater.

A decade ago, he returned to rebuild the strings that once nurtured him. Today, a new generation is carrying that sound forward.

SIT Tsz Ho, John
Conductor, La Salle College String Orchestra
Principal 2nd Violin, City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong

1. When you first returned, what were the main challenges in rebuilding and strengthening La Salle’s string section, and how has it developed over the past decade?
When I first came back, there were many challenges. For example, StrO didn’t yet have its own dedicated rehearsal day, and there was a huge gap in playing ability amongst students, so not everyone was really motivated to play. Over the past decade or so, the main change has been in mindset: it’s no longer just a handful of students taking it seriously, but everyone coming together with discipline, playing music out of their own initiative. It’s precisely because of this shift that StrO has achieved such strong results in recent years.

2. As an Old Boy who has returned to nurture a new generation of Lasallian string players, what values do you hope to pass on, and what are your hopes for the future of strings at La Salle?
Never say die. Give it your all, without regrets. On the path of music, and in life, you’ll run into plenty of difficulties, and the most important thing is to never give up. Always try your best! This year StrO won 1st prize in Vienna, and we’re starting to step onto the international stage. I hope we can keep reaching new heights from here, and take on even bigger stages ahead.

To mark this special Silver Jubilee of our school orchestras, we will be featuring 25 of our homegrown Lasallian musicians, sharing their journeys and some of their most cherished memories of making music at our alma mater.

From the percussion section to the conductor’s podium, his Lasallian musical journey has continued far beyond graduation. This Sunday, he returns as our Guest Conductor.

Ip Cheng Xin
Director, UBC Symphonic Wind Ensemble
Sessional Lecturer in Conducting, UBC School of Music

1. As a student, you performed across the LSC Wind Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra and Chinese Orchestra as a percussionist. How did experiencing three different ensembles shape your musical identity?
As a percussionist, I was lucky to play in all three ensembles under Ngai sir and Mr. Ng. This experience gave me a deep appreciation for how each ensemble speaks with its own voice. The striking differences in style and tradition taught me to be flexible and versatile, to listen beyond my own part, and to serve the music by adapting with humility and empathy to every ensemble’s unique character.

2. What did your years in La Salle’s orchestras teach you that continues to influence your work today as a professional conductor and music educator?
The value of a positive, inclusive environment where every member is equal and free to express their ideas and interpretations. Those lessons continue to shape my work today as a conductor and educator: building ensemble culture, nurturing individual growth, and creating spaces where musicians feel safe to take risks and make music together.

Celebrating 25 Years of the La Salle College Wind Orchestra and Symphony Orchestra! 🎶

To mark this special Silver Jubilee of our school orchestras, we will be featuring 25 of our homegrown Lasallian musicians, sharing their journeys and some of their most cherished memories of making music at our alma mater.

We begin with someone who has been at the heart of that journey from the very beginning — our beloved Wan Sir.

An Old Boy who returned to serve his alma mater, Wan Sir played an instrumental role in shaping and strengthening Lasallian music over more than two decades as our Music Panel Head, witnessing generations of young musicians grow through the orchestras he helped nurture.

As we celebrate this milestone, here’s what Wan Sir has to share about his journey, his memories, and the legacy of Lasallian music:

“Music has always been my heart’s calling. With the school’s steadfast support, I had the privilege of founding the Wind Orchestra, Chinese Orchestra, and Senior Choir, while restarting the Symphony Orchestra. Watching them grow from their early stages to maturity and flourish has become one of the most precious journeys of my life. Leading them through various challenges—fluctuating attendance, competition pressure, budget constraints, venue issues, and conductor changes—was never easy. Yet, seeing our students build brotherly friendships through music, sharing tears of effort and joy on stage, made every hardship worthwhile. My greatest comfort is seeing this enduring La Salle Spirit continue. May these teams keep thriving and inspiring generations to come.”
