Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation - Standard Chartered Arts in the Park 2026: Auditions for RAW A Cappella Team Singers

Do you love music, harmony, and the thrill of performing live? HKYAF’s RAW a cappella team is seeking passionate singers and beatboxers aged 10 to 25 to perform at the city’s largest youth arts outdoor event, Standard Chartered Arts in the Park!

Rehearsals are led by professional singing coach Astrid Lui and take place every Sunday afternoon between September and the performances on 14 and 15 November.

To apply, simply complete the application form and submit it with an audition video as detailed below.

Successful applicants will receive an email confirmation for their audition slot by 31 May. Auditions take place on 14 June, between 9:30am and 2:30pm, so reserve the day in your calendar!

If you are a past member of RAW, simply submit your application form (no audition video required), and you will be invited to the on-site auditions on 14 June.

You may audition for both our RAW a cappella team and Harmonix show choir, but you will only be selected for one group.
