Experience the Thrill of Being a Superstar: A Special Pop Culture Tour (Conducted in Cantonese)

Established in 1983, Avon Recording Studio is one of the most esteemed professional recording studios in Hong Kong, renowned for its production of numerous classic pop songs. Over the years, it has hosted legendary superstars from different eras, including Danny Chan, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, and Roman Tam, as well as 1990s superstars like Aaron Kwok, Leon Lai, Sandy Lam, and Faye Wong. In the new millennium, Cantopop icons like Joey Yung and Eason Chan, along with recent popular idols Ian Chan and Keung To, have also recorded their music here. Since 2015, Hins Cheung has taken charge of the studio, continuing its legacy as a “sacred place of pop music” and preserving its valuable and historically significant audio records.

Every corner of Avon Recording Studio, be it the recording studio itself, corridors, nostalgic carriage resting area or smoking room, exudes a unique charm, thanks to meticulous acoustic design and Hins Cheung's personal touch in interior design. During the guided tour, which lasts approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, participants will not only learn about the design details and captivating stories of the recording studio, but will also have the opportunity to take memorable photos and experience the daily routines of superstars and producers, like relaxing in the nostalgic carriage resting area, savoring a refreshing soft drink, and listening to fascinating anecdotes.

What is more, every participant will have the chance to take part in a "demo recording" session. They can choose a song from a specially selected playlist featuring over ten popular songs from different eras, and record a one-minute segment of their singing in the manner of a superstar using top-tier equipment, including a million-dollar mixing console, high-quality microphones, and antique audio equipment sourced from around the world.  At the end of the event, each participant will receive a personalised recording as a memento that carries the precious memories of this journey.

Note:
1. Patrons will receive a confirmation email after purchasing tickets via Internet Booking at URBTIX, which includes a link to a registration form.  Each participant is required to provide personal contact details and the choice of song for recording in the form, which should be duly completed within 7 days prior to the tour to ensure the smooth running of the event.
2. Due to venue restriction, wheelchair users could not be accommodated in this event.
