While the former one would have a showcase on serious choral music chosen with selected artistic themes, the latter one would be a demonstration of the chorus' vividness and ability in engaging a pop, contemporary style featuring arrangements of Christmas pieces.
The most recent Annual Concert and Christmas Concert would be respectively "The Music of Jan Tien-hao" held in June 2014 and "CU Chorus x Howard McCrary", featuring the Grammy-nominated jazz musician Howard McCrary with a good number of jazz arrangements from traditional Christmas songs in December 2012.
As the pioneer of contemporary choral music, the chorus commissions young Hong Kong composers for new works every year.
In May 2009, the chorus won high praise in Israel because of a video clip[3] that its members posted on YouTube.
[4] The popularity of the clip attracted a broad media coverage,[5][6][7][8] including a news article by Yedioth Ahronoth, the best-selling newspaper in Israel.
