Hong Kong singer Albert Chau (周吉佩), known for his warm voice and diverse musical style, has rapidly risen in the Hong Kong music scene. Following his victory in the first season of TVB’s singing competition Midlife, Sing & Shine! in 2022, Albert reignited his long-paused singing career with heartfelt performances that deeply resonated with audiences.

Building on the momentum from the competition, Albert has actively participated in numerous music events, culminating in sold-out concerts in Hong Kong and Macau. Recently, he was invited by Fairchild Media Group to perform in their Mid-Autumn Music Dinner concert series (吉星伴月慶中秋周吉佩音樂晚宴) in Canada, with three performances across the country, including a stop in Toronto.

The Toronto concert on October 2nd, part of a three-city tour including Vancouver and Calgary, was an intimate evening filled with music and celebration. Albert performed a selection of his popular songs such as “GUTS,” “Third Life,” and “You Are My Only One,” while engaging closely with fans. From tender love ballads to powerful inspirational songs, Albert’s music has touched the hearts of many. Alongside his captivating singing, attendees enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, creating a warm and festive atmosphere perfect for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Fans and pop-music lovers in Toronto gathered for a memorable night at Casa Deluz in Scarborough, where they enjoyed a traditional Chinese banquet meal while enjoying Albert's music.

Fastening Elegance: Royce Chau weaves creative flair into the traditional craft of floral button-making 綻放於衣裳上

The art of crafting handmade knotted floral buttons, a cherished Chinese tradition, often goes unnoticed by modern fashion enthusiasts. Adorning cheongsams and other garments, these buttons complement the chosen fabric and colour, serving as a small yet intricate detail in the time-consuming tailoring process of traditional Chinese dresses. Royce Chau knows this firsthand, having studied tailoring Chinese garments when she couldn't find a traditional Chinese outfit she liked while living in Singapore. Unable to find what she sought in numerous department stores, she resolved to learn how to make one herself.

The Master of Traditional Handmade Silk Buttons 傳統花釦之工藝大師

In Hong Kong resides a traditional artisan of embroidered button fasteners for cheongsams (qipaos) and other garments. Master Po Ming-Wah is one of the few artisans of this craft still practicing in Hong Kong today, however, this art is becoming extinct. Fête Chinoise had an opportunity to sit down with Master Po and presidents of Cheongsam Connect, Anita Tsang and Donna Cheung in Hong Kong to better understand the history and current challenges of the practice. Each of Master Po’s intricate knots have auspicious names, an intentional meaning, and a corresponding design.
