'Melodies of Love' is a musical project that aims:

“Music is the universal language.”
This quote has always been our team’s belief, thinking that music can be the bridge to connect people from different faculties, majors or even different nations. Viewing the Sunny Living week where the college mainly focus on sports or green living, we belief that music is also a crucial element to promote health and well-being.
As March approaches, students mainly focus on revision for mid-term exams. Stress accompanied and there isn’t much ways for them to combat it due to the tight schedules. Music, will definitely be a good way to release stress and provide some leisure. Mid of February and March is a time where lovers enjoy their Valentine’s Day. With this opportunity, we hope to bring romance through music and provide a romantic night for students in the college and also in CUHK.
Our team comprises of a pianist, singer, percussionist, guitarist and violinist. With the large varieties of music instruments, we hope to provide diverse type of music pieces, bringing everyone from the Classical Period to the 20th Century. We hope to introduce love songs in the classical period, showcasing to students how a solo piano piece can also show the love from the composer. Pop songs will also be included, especially those that were awarded under the Academy Awards or the Hong Kong Film Awards. This is in hope to promote Hong Kong music as well, introducing them to the international students in CUHK.
During the performance, we will introduce the background of the pieces, providing some basic information to our audience. Then we will perform the pieces. We plan to have an hour of performance session, comprising 10-12 pieces of songs. We hope to organize on 20/2/2025 and any dates if required. On top of the performance, we will set a booth where chocolate will be distributed. This is in hope to sweeten everyone’s life and provide some sweetness to the pressurized life.
As a musician has said, “Music is powerful. As people listen to it, they can be affected. They respond.” We believe that music is a good medium to affect others physically and mentally, promoting healthy well-being. Melodies of Love, a hope to bring love through music, no matter as family, couples, or friends, love is always here and to be shared with one another.
