Fete Chinoise had the pleasure of hosting renown lyricist Wing-Him Chan for our Signature Gala and Showcase on Saturday, January 28th along with Yoyo Sham, who was our featured artist and special guest from Hong Kong. They are two talented creators and producers in the music industry in Asia, and we were honoured to have them both with us here in Toronto. On January 30th, we co-hosted a special talk with Wing-Him in Markham, at Tone Labs studio with radio personality and Fete Chinoise committee member Joseph Tsang. Enjoy some photographs from the evening's workshop, where we learned about his journey composing for artists like Yoyo Sham, Phil Lam, Keung To, Eason Chan and many others, as well as tips for incorporating Cantonese into music notes.

As FIFA fever sweeps the nation, a dynamic new exhibition at the Chinese Canadian Museum celebrates over a century of grit, greatness, and athletic legacy. “Chinese Canadians have always been part of the game, but rarely part of the story,” notes Dr. Melissa Karmen Lee, CEO of the Chinese Canadian Museum. This poignant nuance forms the heart of the showcase, which invites visitors to trace over a century of Chinese-Canadian presence in sports. Designed as an electrified, sports bar–inspired space, the Poy Family Gallery presents archival objects, photographic portraits, and newly commissioned moving image works, allowing everyone to explore these beautiful layers of history through different mediums.
