NOĒMA is a fresh endeavour dedicated to bringing new possibilities to Hong Kong’s vibrant choral scene. The chamber choir comprises some of the city’s finest choral musicians, and is led by its founder Sanders Lau.

The word Noēma means ‘the content of thought’ in classical Greek rhetoric; Renaissance musicians also borrowed it to denote ‘homophonic singing that stimulates the soul’.
