　　Hong Kong Sinfonietta, which founded in 1990 and composed of the elitists of Hong Kong, dedicates to bring music closer to the community. On tour, the Hong Kong Sinfonietta became the first Asian orchestra to be invited by the Saint-Riquier Festival to perform in the medieval town in northern France in 2001. 2004, the orchestra returned to the Festival, as well as to the Flaneries Musicales d'Ete de Reims, as part of the Year of China in France. Last summer, it was invited to two Lithuanian Festivals and was also the first Chinese orchestra to perform at the National Philharmonic Hall in Warsaw.
