Advance school bookings are now open for Falling Awake, an original musical revealing a journey of self-discovery. Fifteen-year-old Sage feels out of place, as if her coming-of-age is marked by a sense of imbalance. One day, she unexpectedly stumbles into a surreal realm – strange, beautiful, and full of secrets that hold the truth of her own heart. Joined by unexpected companions, what begins as a mystery soon becomes a journey of self-discovery. Following the sold‑out success of last year’s flagship musical Likes & Lies, this year’s original production continues HKYAF’s legacy of creating musicals that address social issues. Written and directed by Lindsey McAlister, with music by Amuer Calderon, the production is performed by a young cast aged 10 to 25. School tickets are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis. To ensure your seats, complete the online form and return it to carmen@hkyaf.com.

Music created from the heart bridges souls and opens paths to understanding. The three original songs created as part of our Voices Unleashed Music Programme are now available on music streaming platforms.   Inspired by the stories of individuals with diverse abilities and backgrounds, a group of young songwriters created three original Cantonese songs around the theme of inclusivity. The resulting works, What It Isn’t, Pearls by the Ocean and Nestling were arranged by professional musicians and performed and recorded by a mixed-ability choir.   Listen to the songs now and experience the transformative power of music.
