On 26th February 2023, Musicians Foundation will be hosting its fifth mental well-being event with an afternoon of TedX-style talks (in English) focusing on mental well-being awareness in our community.

We will have Pierre Veniot (a musician, composer, music teacher), Xiaolin (producer, DJ, multi-instrumentalist) sharing their stories of how they coped with the years of Covid restrictions. The final talk will be by Nadine, from the International School of Mindfulness.

After the talks, there will be a networking session.

This event allows our community to reconnect and foster a sense of belonging.

"Just keep breathin' and breathin' and breathin' and breathin'"

2023 年 2 月 26 日, Musicians Foundation 將會再度舉辦他們的第五次Mental Lifeline (心理健康) 活動,以 TedX 式英語演講重點關注我們音樂人社區的心理健康。該活動使我們重新聯繫一眾音樂演藝人士,並培養他們對本地音樂界的歸屬感。

我們將邀請音樂家、作曲家及音樂教師 Pierre Veniot 、製作人、DJ及多重樂器演奏家 Xiaolin 分享他們如何應對過去三年受疫情限制下的故事。而最後的演講,將由來自國際正念學校的 Nadine 主講。大會將會於最後舉行網絡會議完結是次活動。

Background 背景資料

Our founding member, Christine Bowers (aka Chris B), has been organising and running live music events in Hong Kong since 2004, over 350 events during the past 17 years with her company The Underground Limited.

我們的創辦人,Christine Bowers(亦名為Chris B),自2004年起已致力策劃及籌辦香港的現場音樂活動。在過去的17年間,她以其公司之名The Underground Limited舉辦了超過350項活動。

In August 2020, she undertook a survey to find out how many professional musicians were suffering due to Covid-19. The one week survey (646 people participated) revealed that 62% of them were full-time musicians and 82% of them had been in that career for more than 5 years. Over 7% of these musicians had become homeless or were in the process of being evicted.

在2020年8月,她進行了一個有關多少職業音樂人因新冠肺炎疫情而慘遭困境的問卷調查。為期一週的調查中(合共646名參與者),發現百分之62的人士為全職音樂人,而當中的百分之82的人士曾從事該職業長達5年以上的時間。以上超過百分之7的音樂人更變得無家可歸,甚至經歷被驅逐出境的慘況。

This led to numerous emails and phone calls to Legislative Councilors and face-to-face meetings.  The last meeting was with Mr Casper Tsui, Secretary for Home Affairs. All these meetings highlighted how professional musicians have no official representation or body in Hong Kong.

在這困境下,就演變成傳送無數封電郵和致電予立法會議員,促成面對面會談的景象,最後一次的面談對象為民政事務局局長徐英偉先生。而這些會面都引起了香港的職業音樂人並無官方代表或代議團體的問題。

Upon researching the situation in other countries, it became clear that a non-profit focused on helping musicians during difficult times would be beneficial to the community and offer relief to career musicians.

在調查其他國家的情況期間,我們越能明瞭到一個能致力幫助音樂人渡過難關的非牟利組織的重要性,除了可以回饋社會之餘,同時亦能提供慰藉予職業音樂人。
