This recital will present the musical talents of three artists with disability, soprano Pinky Li, tenor Wan Chi Kan, and baritone Lau Yik Keung. Through their angelic voices, we not only can see their inborn talents, but also the devoted cultivation of Mr. Albert Lim, allowing them to enjoy making music freely.
