All musicians have rich performance experience and are active in different Chinese music groups in Hong Kong. Many of the members have also won awards in the Hong Kong Inter-school Music Festival.
The goal of this group is to promote the teaching of traditional Chinese music. Through the various Chinese music courses offered by the Department of Music, students are exposed to musical instruments and scores collected by the China Music Archive, and receive guidance from many experts on performance ability and style performance. The types of music involved include Guangdong Nanyin, Cantonese Opera, Chaozhou music, Kunqu opera and Jiangnan Sizhu, etc. At the same time, members also participate in discussions on the differences in the cultural background of music genres and the relevance of music genres, thereby broadening their perspectives on Chinese music.

Its performances include: local composer Dr. Ng King-Pin's adaptation of "Nightclub 1960", Professor Chung Yiu-kwong's "Looking at the Moon and Listening to the Wind", and Professor Chen Yonghua's "Nanlian Pond" ".
