The charity concert - MindMuse

Tonight we have a very special concert taking place at City Hall in aid of TWF's girls and STEM programmes.

The charity concert, MindMuse, has been organised by CELL (Community Engagement in Learning and Living), a German Swiss International School (GSIS) student-run organisation seeking to bridge social gaps and empower the underprivileged in Hong Kong. The brainchild of Misha Fischer, a 15 year old student at GSIS, the concert will feature performances by Misha herself, alongside world renowned pianist and Music Director at St. Paul's Co-educational College Warren Lee and HK Philharmonic members Lorenzo Iosco and Tae-Mi Song together with Orquesta Barrio de Tango and the GSIS Big Band and Philharmonic. Here is a link to a recent performance by Misha at TWF’s Gala Dinner in November to give you a taster! 

We are thrilled and humbled that our work to empower women and girls is gaining so much broad support. A big thank you to everyone coming to tonight's event and the folks who have generously sponsored tickets for underprivileged students to attend, tonight's corporate sponsors - Credit Suisse, J Select, Howse Williams Bowers and Continuum, Misha and  her fellow CELL student organisers,  and all of tonight’s performers for so generously giving up their time and giving of their talent. 

At TWF, we are very concerned about increasing the number of girls in Hong Kong studying for, and moving into, STEM careers, given this is where the brightest job prospects will be found increasingly in the future. This Friday, we will be unveiling the results of our pilot study sponsored by Goldman Sachs on why girls in Hong Kong are not opting for STEM subjects and our recommendations for how, working together, we can change this. Please join us for the launch of the research - see below for how to reserve a place. Otherwise, watch out for the release of the report and related materials in the next couple of weeks.
