Music is boundless. Every year before the opening ceremony of World Economic Forum Annual Meetings, the Crystal Awards will be held to celebrate the achievements of leading artists who made outstanding contributions in practicing public services and promoting social progresses. “AMTD Hong Kong Night”, as the first-ever ceremony with the theme of “Hong Kong”, officiated by the Chief Executive of HKSAR, held by a Hong Kong enterprise in the history of Davos Forum for the past 50 years, also invited world-famous artists to celebrate Hong Kong’s brilliant achievements as the Asian financial center with music, 20 years after the handover.
