The Sir Edward Youde Memorial Fund held its 25th concert-cum-prize presentation ceremony on 11 March. This year a total of 12 CUHK students were awarded the Sir Edward Youde Memorial Fellowships and Scholarships.

To celebrate the silver jubilee of the fund, Dr. Ip Kim-ho, alumnus of the CUHK Music Department, volunteered to compose a piece of music which was performed by the Hong Kong Young Musicians’ Wind Orchestra to kick off the event. Dr. Ip graduated from CUHK with a first-class Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree and received the Sir Edward Youde Memorial Fellowship for Overseas Studies in 1997 to further his studies in music in the UK. During the past years, over 700 CUHK students have been granted different awards under the fund.
