Hong Kong Fire Relief Fundraising Concert — January 2026 香港火災支援籌款音樂會 一月場
On 26 November 2025, a catastrophic fire broke out at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, Hong Kong. The blaze rapidly engulfed the residential block, resulting in at least 159 confirmed deaths — one of the most devastating residential fires in Hong Kong’s recent history. Many families lost loved ones, their homes, and their sense of safety overnight, and there remains an urgent need for post-fire relief and support.
In response to this tragedy, classical musicians from the Hong Kong and local community in the UK came together to organise a fundraising concert in December 2025, with the aim of offering practical assistance and care to the affected families. The concert received warm support from audiences and musicians alike, and the response highlighted the continued need for remembrance, emotional support, and longer-term assistance.
Building on the encouragement and support received from the December concert, we are organising a second fundraising concert on 17 January 2026 in central London, jointly organised by Jessica Wu and Andrew Campling, to continue contributing to the Hong Kong fire relief effort. Through this second concert, we hope to sustain momentum, extend the reach of the fundraising, and once again bring people together through music — offering a space for remembrance, reflection, and shared care during a time of ongoing recovery.
2025 年 11 月 26 日，香港大埔宏福苑發生嚴重火災，大火迅速吞噬多座住宅大樓，造成至少 159 人確認罹難，成為香港近年最嚴重的住宅火災之一。許多家庭在一夜之間失去至親、家園與安全感，現時仍有大量災後支援的需要。
為回應這場悲劇，一群身在英國的香港和本地古典音樂家於 2025 年 12 月 攜手舉辦了一場籌款音樂會，希望透過音樂為受影響的家庭提供實際援助與關懷。音樂會獲得觀眾與音樂家真誠而溫暖的回應，也讓我們深刻感受到，這份記念與支援仍然有延續的需要。
承接十二月音樂會所帶來的鼓勵與支持，我們將於 2026 年 1 月 17 日在倫敦市中心 再次舉辦第二場籌款音樂會，由 Jessica Wu 與 Andrew Campling 共同籌備，繼續為香港火災的災後支援工作出一分力。透過這第二場音樂會，我們希望延續籌款的力量，讓更多人參與其中，並再次透過音樂，提供一個記念、反思與彼此關懷的空間，陪伴社群走過這段仍在復原中的旅程。
