Words & Music: An Intimate Evening with Chan Wing Him
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.

Chinese culture values symbolism. On important occasions like the wedding banquet, the ingredients used are chosen with care, and each dish carries different meanings. A typical Chinese wedding banquet menu includes either ten or twelve dishes, symbolizing "full and perfection" or implying that the couple will have happiness throughout the twelve months of the year. For this special feature, we invited Rovey Chinese Catering and Private Dining, to demonstrate twelve classic Chinese wedding banquet courses and introduce the meaning behind each dish.
